Crime
Crime anytime,
Can happen to anyone,
So open your eyes and keep ears open.
Be alert and aware, always in a hurry.
Crime happens to us in many ways.
Never understand that
Never again.
Someone protested.
No one protested.
Many people “understand crime”,
Many others commit “crimes without realizing it”.
Crime in the broadest sense,
Murder, burning, rape, robbery, extortion, acid throwing, blackmail, molestation, pawn taking and torture for money,
Laying hands on partner after marriage,
Keeping multiple personal partners at once
Etc.
Many small things too,
But falls into crime,
Such as falsely slandering someone,
Interfering with someone’s “freedom of person and speech”,
Pressuring someone into marriage,
To force something upon someone,
Mental torture,
Making fun of someone or making fun of them in front of people.
Be it boy or girl or any person,
Touching her without her permission.
Photographing him without permission,
Plagiarizing someone’s writing,
Annoying someone knowingly and so on.
Crimes committed against yourself,
Should not be allowed to grow.
“It might” be over soon,
Never think like that.
At the outset of the crime,
Efforts should be made to eradicate crime.
If you want to save your life from crime,
Some people have to leave.
But better without.
And if to save yourself,
A person or medium has to catch,
But taking that path will be the best option.
To keep life right,
Whenever a crime is seen to be taking place,
Then you have to protest.
Action must be taken.
Silence is never a protest against injustice.
To prevent crime with oneself,
Only we can
If necessary, hold the hand of the people and the administration.
Yet let us protect ourselves from crime.
