MANHANDLED

What if a Man is the victim?

Don’t touch HIM!

What if I do?

Who’s going to believe anyway?

He’s mum too.

Sure, he’s liking it inside

else he’s gay.

It’ll be his fault anyway.

Tears drop down his beard.

“Men don’t cry,” never heard?

Let them do what they want to do!

No one’s here.

None to look up to!

Ages and hence, they won’t understand.

The marks, the scars, #metoo is his right, too.

No one to ask, “What is he going through?”

They only say, “Man up my boy. That just can’t happen to you!”

Enough.

This circle of crime is here to end

Much hurt, now shout and vent.

Enough, I say.

Have no mercy from today

For old and young,

For weak and strong.

Now, is that a promise for lifelong?

Then again, you walk with pride,

True women and men by your side,

No fear in your eyes.

Take a new stride, all right?

And let me tell you, men, too, can cry!

Here I ask, is silence golden, really?

Or full of dirt?

Now that we know, time to unearth!

Bottom line : SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF MEN IS NOT A MYTH. RESPECT THEIR VOICE
