Too Little, Too Late

The little happy girl in school

You called dark/fat/ugly /slow

The intelligent girl in middle school

You would make fun of for her body hair

Or carrying sanitary pads in her school bag

The high school girl whose dirty graffiti

You made in the toilet

Because she refused to kiss you

The college classmate you defamed

Because she refused to sleep with you

The girlfriend you hit and abused

Because you had intimate videos and photos

The colleague you harassed online

Because she was better at the job

The wife you exploited and ruled over

Because she could never leave the kids

The child you killed unborn

Because she was a daughter

The sister you never allowed any choice

Because she meant "honor"

The daughter-in-law you never supported

Because your son was a bully like you

They were all DEVI
or none of them is

A few plates of halwa and poori

Is too little,too late.
