Cry of the Silenced

A Struggle for Dignity Amidst the Shadows of Violence

In the streets echoes a cry of pain,

Another daughter’s honor stolen again.

The guardian’s shadow, once a protector’s name,

Now a villain cloaked in silence and shame.

The college doors, once symbols of light,

Now witness to darkness that haunts the night.

What was her sin, that innocent soul?

In search of justice, where will she go?

This protest, this noise, a plea to be heard,

In a world where truth seems blurred.
