Hajira Irfana

Hence, Sense...

Hey! Women

Be on your toes.

Lustful locusts are out there...

swarming to overpower you;

proclaiming widely and loudly-

"food was made for the stomach,

and the stomach for food."

(New Testament - 1 Corinthians 6:13)

waiting to devour the every bit of you.

Are you a field to yield?

Who is your shield?

Can Awindra Pandeys and your flimsy

attires combat the clumsy rioters?

Hence, sense...ye! homo sapiens...

Woman to attract;

Man to get attracted;

Procreation-instinct it is...

Being civilized,

gross your order;

cross not your border.

Hey! Women...

Knowing his easily lured nature,

never be a weapon of temptation.

Hey! Men...

Knowing her alluring nature,

never be a weapon of molestation.
