I am sorry..

By waking up an entire nation
You have gone to sleep
Its truly a terrible situation
You are a symbol of nation's grief

We called you Nirbhaya (Fearless)..
But did not let you be one that evening...
We called you Amanat (Treasure)
But did not treat you like one that evening..

We have failed in our responsibility
To make this country safe for you
We created this gender biased society
And now we pray for a beginning anew

May be if we reacted this way
For every rape
That happened in the country each day
You would have been among us
Being truly a Nirbhaya, Being truly a Amanat.

I am sorry...
