No Rapes!

Dharanidhar Adhikari

Beneath the moon or sun’s stark ray,
Paths of respect must pave the way.
Teach the language of consent,
Where “no” is heard and peace is meant.

Echoes rise from silenced lips,
Justice blooms as tyranny slips.
Each heart a lantern, strong and deep,
Guarding dreams once lost to sleep.

Streets aglow with hopeful light,
Watchful shepherds through the night.
Wisdom spreads its sacred scroll,
Dignity shall be our goal.

Summon forth the noble stand,
Champions bold across the land.
In every breast, sow seeds of peace,
From cruel binds, grant sweet release.
