I ne'er breathed 'til I first cried;
And cry, I now; since humanity has died.
Yes, the world is dead! D-E-A-D!
Yet, I still pray for my daily bread...
D-E-A-D? Is that what you heard me squeal?
Oh yes! Isn't it the dead who do not feel?
I am an object of your desire- amorous;
To you, I'm "raven-haired", I'm "glamorous"!
But was that a boon? Or was that MY bane!
I unknowingly trudged the Devil's lane...
You penetrated my innocence, for your delight!
In God-knows-how-many houses of the night.
"Godparent" has since been given a new meaning;
Something shamefully demeaning!
This "(gl)amorous one" has been grounded,
Ever since the fleur-de-lis was upon me, branded!
As I await her Ladyship to remove her famous blindfold,
I can only but feel life ebb, and cease to hold...

Very well written and hope people be people rather be an animal.
brilliant. Second stanza is simply mind blowing.
u r rite,innocence is lost.
Nice:-)
Hey Krtz,
I agree with you regardiing the innocence lost, but i raise a question here.. who is responsible? talk to any one human being on the planet, everyone thinks they r intellectuals, they ll have to say something or other about it, but then i ask, if everyone is so concerned, who is responsible? I am reminded of the movie- the monsoon wedding, if u have watched it, you would definitely catch my point..
And b'fully framed.. I am already a fan I told u =)
And another b'ful piece find it here, (its not mine)

@Priya
Indeed... But man is a 'social animal'; bottomline, an animal nevertheless.
@Preeti
Thanks... :)
@Gauri
Thanks for reading...
nice one dude..though poems are never my thing i enjoyed it...
@Richa
Thanks. I've not watched the movie you mentioned; but I can relate a chilling dialogue from Kalyug- "As long as there is demand, there *will* be supply."- the words of Simi Roy (portrayed by Amrita Singh)
Anyway, this is just an attempt to make a difference. Quite sure there are others who can make a difference too.
Glad you liked it. Peace.

saddening, I wrote three poems on sexual abuse one of child abuse... you read the third poem though!!
saddening yes! very very!
my poem: http://charcoals.blogspot.com/2008/08/pyari-lekri.html
@.a
Welcome back. Thank you for the share.
I know, very saddening.
Karthik, I know how tough it is penning down social issues.All i can say is, you have done the task very well, without getting aggressive. The problem with me, unfortunately is my rampancy in writing that makes me deal with social issues in an aggressive manner.
Kudos!Keep the words flowing!
I hope this is just the beginning of many more to come... And thank you for those kind words.
And... Aggression, if channelled in the right direction, can help you achieve what you want. It is within you.
Welcome to Contorted Reality. Do drop-in again...
Peace.
Brilliant!
Have a nice week.

Hi mate,
Sorry for the late reply.Hats off for taking up a wonderful cause and writing a poem that touched the deepest of my heart.It really was heart warming.Try sending this poem to Dr. Abdul Kalam. I am saying this because I had a friend who got poems published through him.That way,you will be able to reach a greater audience.
Venkatesh

@Jayu Auntie
Thank you so much! Coming from you... I treasure it!
Bravo Kartzmagus.This is subject on which I have very strong views-the lowest scum on this earth are the predators who hurt children.They are degenerate,vile and puke inducing.
Have written a short story about this,will tag you.
This should be written about,discussed and condemned.
