Raped

 "I was raped."

"Prove it", they said.

"But you caught the monster!"

"You can also be an imposter."

"Why will I do that?"

"Your clothes, your attitude

Your religion, your caste 

All point at you as guilty 

Question you, we must!"

"But what's my crime?"

You are a woman, enough said."

"I am a Dalit too."

"Casteism isn't the issue."

"Why do you say your caste so proudly then?"

"It is not a case of hate, let's reason."

"Then why was I chosen to teach a lesson?"

Endless debates, TRP on rise, 

But in the end, no surprise 

I had to pay with my life, 

While you kept your vanity and vice.
