Rape Not Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Rape not,
They are our
Mother, sister, wife.

Kill not,
We have done nothing.
Kill not,
We are all here
With father, brother, son.

We are not terrorists,
We are innocent people,
See, we have nothing
With us.

We are ready to go away,
But where to go
We know not.

Have some humanity with you,
Give us some food,
Give us a glass of water,
Give us something to wear.
Like you, we have also
A right to live here.

Be not blind
With religion, caste, race,
Area, territory.
Realize the truth,
Each one is a stranger
On this earth.
Each one is alien.

It is true,
No one would tolerate
Attacks on security personnel.
But punish not
The entire community
For the aggression by a few.

Make an inquiry
And find out the truth.
Punish the guilty,
But take care the innocent.
Make the earth
A safe zone for all
Peaceful human.

Ensure the protection of
Civilians, take steps
To end the violence,
And resolve the refugee problem,
Dear men.
