Self Censorship

Weeping of any form should be
Declared as a crime.
Teardrops kissing the cheeks is
Love-jihad.

Speaking of any sort should be
Looked down upon.
How dare you set your lips apart?

Blinking of eyes, throbbing of heart.
Even breathing is such a laborious
Task, unemployment, that's why
Is so rampant.

The left of the brain, slips in a duel
With the right. while grey cells
Tend to go on a hunger strike.

And from around somewhere,
A crooked thought, undemocratically
Dictates its terms, the rest of the
Neurons do not fire up in protest.

But my confused hand doesn't
Follow restraint. To make a point
It doesn't hesitate.

Un-aware, it bloody doesn't
Understand that these battles
Often die unceremoniously-

On a piece of paper...
As Pens, do not have enough 
Firepower.
