Perplexed! As the link I clicked,
I felt my heartbeat, as it loudly ticked.
What a shock, what a pain to inflict
Lawlessly, they chose to convict.
Naked, nude, bare, she was stripped!
I closed my eyes, God forbid!
An act, to the victim so traumatizing.
Painfully memorable, we can’t help erase even with empathizing.
But why, when did my brothers become so wicked?
It could be your mother, sister, I doubt you want to see her stripped naked!
C’mon bro, what you did was unendurable,
A taboo, shameful and unacceptable.
Nudity is not your choice, so you say
Her dress her choice, you ignored it, like the wind blew it away.
I don’t know where you come from, what your sister dresses on
But before she left the house, she looked into the mirror, and liked what she had on.
So why on earth, will you undress her?
Since when did you become that monster?
To you it serves her right, you are happy for your act
You could do better than that, as a matter of fact.
No reason you give, none at all, justifies your abuse
It doesn’t make sense, your form of correction I strongly refuse.
Not only did you strip off her dignity,
You spat on the face of femininity.
Respect our mothers, again I say respect our future mothers
Women have different tastes, different dress lengths and of course, colors.
Yes, you have a point, we should dress the way we want to be addressed
My values different from hers, none still deserves to be undressed.
The sisters are yours, to protect, correct and to love
Everything you do to them, remember that someone is watching from up above.
SAY NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!
