Freedom fight is over,
Found safe place as cover,
Dark clouds still hover,
So much bed blood spill over,
Basic rights enshrined in constitution,
Existed this before as institution,
May not find favour with society,
Love can be worshipped as deity,
Act of two willing adults,
Termed as new thing and cults,
Existed centuries before,
Recently in discussion and in fore,
It is bad act when exhibited in public,
Rights protected by nation or republic,
It has to be consensual and accommodating,
Now free at will for dating,
Will not go well with religion,
May not suit to many regions,
It is rule of land that upholds,
Move termed as wide and bold,
Will give boost to social fabric,
Nuisance in public to come to and end,
No reprisals or repercussions expected,
Individuality as whole recognized and respected,
May go in history as land mark judgment,
Rumors placed at rest and no bad movements,
It is rightful day for achievement,
Gays must celebrate day for enjoyment
so nice to know the fight is over, after all, who has rights to discriminate?
Existed centuries before...n' without reprisal. Seems society has reverted backwards beyond the dark ages when someone thinks they have a right, religious or political, to dictate who you shall love and live your life with.... amazing. I like the edgy..ness about this poem, it's out there as a maverick esp in topic. Salutations to you Hasmukh
