Experion Technologies

The Hashtag

They bombed his home

And killed his son

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

They burnt him live

For the choice of his food

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

They hung him up

For the caste he was born

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

They tore her clothes 

And raped her soul

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

She took bullets 

For the might of her pen

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

They tore her womb

For the religion she followed

The hashtag said #MeToo

 

She laughs at the jokes

Her chauvinist boss makes

Her hashtag says #MeToo

 

He penalizes her 

For her period leaves 

His hashtag says #MeToo

 

I relax and smile

That these happen not to me

Yet my hashtag says #MeToo
