Eros worshippers
Pay the price with lowered heads
Aphrodite reigns
*****
Amorous passion
Pay homage to Erotes
Aphrodite lures
*****
Goddess Durga cries
A nation worships shakti
Nirbhaya gang raped
Durga, Goddess of Power(Shakti), is worshipped by Hindus in different forms.
On 16 December, 2012, Nirbhaya was brutally gang raped and her boyfriend beaten by a group of six men in New Delhi, India. She ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
I remember hearing about that terrible tragedy. Heartbreaking. I wonder when and how things will change.

Many factors including lack of education, poverty, breakdown of family, moral degradation, alcohol and drugs and not much to look forward to in life. No one single thing can be pin pointed as the trigger.
