I am a fairly peaceful person. Never engaging in fights (mostly), keeping clear of controversies is my idea of a peaceful life. But every now and then a bombshell here and a flutter there successfully manages to break my tranquil existence. Someone comes out and claims divinity on ridiculous grounds and somewhere a "leader" takes his title to a new level of entitlement. Someone has his silver spoon so well shoved down his throat that he forgets to talk sense and someone justifies heinous acts on the basis of pseudo scientific theories (which only the proponent solely believes in).
But seldom people manage to create the kind of anger and disgust that I am facing right now. Hooliganism, jungle raj, illiteracy and neglect of Nero's proportions (Yes, I dare compare it to Nero's rule of Rome) were always a hallmark of these particular "gentlemen" (Sorry, have to be politically correct, even if I am not very sure as to what it really means and leads to). But, I always thought that it is by sheer incompetence and habit that they have achieved it.
I ate my words and slapped my innocence when realisation finally dawned upon me. It is by great hardwork and choices of the most gigantic proportions that the "gentlemen" have achieved such an unenviable status. This godly status spurs them into calling rape as a minor offence and as if that was not awesome enough another one followed soon after. This one demands death for those unfortunates who were raped. Truly magnanimous it is of the "gentlemen".
It is a shame towards humanity that such "gentlemen" are allowed to roam free and spew this kind of loathsome venom. Constitution grants freedom of speech, but not freedom of insult. To satisfy a certain group or as a matter of fact a "votebank", random criminal statements are doled out at regular intervals. While some decide to raise their voices, a billion decide to stay mum.
If we are to gain the respect of this world, I guess we need to first clear out the filth of this kind. Unless it is achieved, we seriously need to think about our right to call ourselves human beings.

Anguished and hurt in a desolate calm,
Alone I wait for a magical charm.
The wait is so long and painfully unending,
Are we humans or are we pretending?!!
