For pot-bellied uncles staring shamelessly

For lechers ogling, whistling by the roadside

For exploiting girls and killing ruthlessly

For chauvinistic men forcing female foeticide,

Now, no more clumsy lame excuses.

For game-seeking loafers and perverts at bus-stands

For all powerful molesters who got to get away

For masochistic husbands wielding an upper hand

For “she asked for it”, these words who say,

Now, no more clumsy lame excuses.

For those who believe, a girl should lower her eyes

For those who expect women not to answer back

For those who feel show of oppressive strength is nice

For those who think its core and courage we lack

Now, no more clumsy lame excuses.

For now, we press for policies of zero tolerance

For now, we shall rise like a phoenix, to carve a niche

For now, after much suffering, we ran out of patience

For now, we are out to eradicate the cancer of social psyche

So, No more clumsy lame excuses.
