Atavistic Fear Of Girls Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Sex assaults have been institutionalized
In film industries and corporate fields.
Ladders, luxuries and money are baits.
Executives and business magnets are honey pot.

The silencing, the abuse of power,
Privilege, the system of protecting
Or rescuing predators and rapists
Sees that fallen women do not have voice.

Girls ambitious go ruthless in their goals.
They dispose themselves to cooperate
With bosses, directors, producers
Or imposing actors in their chambers.

Sex like bribe is grudgingly given.
It is customary in film industries.
It has spread to other lucrative fields.
Givers make no complaints and get their way.

Girls are an easy prey with slippery sense.
Situations lend them vulnerable
And they succumb to the trap awaiting,
More from the atavistic fear than desire.
