Day 23 - Violence

Screaming, crying, 

yelling, and shouting,

raising one's voice.

Indeed it's all violence.

But so is someone 

forcefully entering another's space,

demanding something

that the hosts have said no to.

Time and again.

but you won't stop.

You ask, and ask, and ask,

till your ask is no more an ask

but a forceful demand,

hiding, under the pretext of a plea

Remember, the Brits?

They entered the land 

to do harmless business

What they really took away 

were dreams, hopes and lives

for over two hundred years.

Someday, I hope 

you'll understand how silence

can be a more brutal violence!

And one's yelling can only be 

a helpless plea, to stop.
