Child Abuse Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Child Abuse

Rating: 5.0


Why should they not be publicly hand cuffed and paraded?
Why should they not be exposed and their tales narrated?
Is it not the shame that they lose their sense and molest the child?
Why our civil society and judiciary show some leniency and go mild?

I have high regards for the aged people and pay the respect

They should search the souls and immediately need to introspect
Why it is that flower which should see light of the day is simply crushed?
Why it is that they are subjected to humiliation throughout life and pushed?

May be we suffer from sick mind and do not care for its readdress
It is expected they act in exemplary good manner and earn respect in plain dress
They have their own role to play as senior most citizen and guardian
They are the one who can legitimately claim as true custodian

We come across cases where some of the female children are abused
I do believe in sanctity of position but such things can be refused
It is product of sick mind that tries to surface and comes to fore
Such ghastly acts put us to shame and are never witnessed before

Is it solely unfulfilled desire or merely weakness of strong will?
Why that child is is abused mercilessly though no intention to kill?
Some of the children’s body is left in mutilated condition for horror’s tale
News spread like wild fire and only to be used as cover story for sale

We come across many such tales and continue to witness so
Some efforts to be made to go into research and some lights to throw
It is not only denigrating humanity but shames us as human being
How can we admire such things and praise for them and sing

We have grown with maturity but have lacked sincere morality
We are stressing more for physical lust and emphasize its utility
It is our life style and angle from which we see complete world
We go for lip services and not condemn or not utter a word

It is high time that we don’t act in haste and combat the nuisance
Go into deep reasons and see the force behind as essence
Not to leave children to the mercy of unknown people or guests
It is our own responsibility and make sure where it lays the best

It has not been new development but takes place much to our discomfort
Many people may be hiding for fearing backlash and not report
It is regretted that incidences do occur despite taking best precaution
Long exemplary punishment may force the offenders not to go for any tempataiom

Hmmm Human Rights! ! ...Is Phonic diarrhea! Conceptual Conception? [taking from my father’s poetry]…what you say as lip service... The most interesting point you wrote: ‘Why it is that flower which should see light of the day is simply crushed? This reminds me great essayist Sd. Mujtasba Ali [in Bengali] wrote we love children do we cut their head and décor vase? Why in flower we do it? A humane write for Human Rights scholastic indeed... 10++ Ms. Nivedita UK
