They try to keep us down, But we will never flee
We won’t be silenced, No matter what they see
We will never be complacent, No matter what they preach
We know the power of our voice, And it’s within our reach

It Takes Someone #Poetry
It Takes Someone
to crack an egg
break it apart
but remember beaten eggs
make savory omelets
It takes someone
to cut a tree
saw it down
make it fall
but remember fallen wood
makes homes for all
It takes someone
to light a candle
make it shine
brighten a room
that once was dark
like a tomb
It takes someone
to plant a seed
grow a garden
to till the soil
that once was harden.– VishalDutia

A Womans Voice
A Mothers Voice
The first that you hear kisses your tears and soothes your fears
A Lovers Voice
Who’s whispers of entice and perplex your body’s reflex An Awesome Voice That shouts out loud stands up and is proud not lost in the crowdA Powerful Voice One that rallies and fights without losing sight asserting its rights
A Survivors Voice
Riddled with pain no longer in chains her monsters slainA Warriors Voice
Strong and controlled without being told breaks free of the moldAll the above
Warm like a glove
And full of loveHappy International Women’s Day!!

Never Give Up
Never give up.
Don’t ever surrender.
When all seems lost,
fight to the end.
You don’t know
the limits of your strength.
Nobody does,
you can endure the length
of any struggle, battle or hardship.
Show these motherfuckers
where your heart is.
Hours will be few,
but the minutes will be long.
Show them what it is,
what it means to be strong.
Charge head first,
or take your time and plan it.
They’ll try to break you,
but you’re made of granite.
You’re like a coal chunk,
born in intense heat.
Refined by pressure,
always rise to your feet.
That’s how how diamonds are made.
You can’t be defeated,
prohibit fear,
doubt and retreat.
It’s not about being paid.
It’s about power
and determination.
Doesn’t take much to
deter my nation.
Run faster,
jump higher,
lift more,
train longer.
Succeed.
You won’t find the same ease
believe me with me,
because I’m not giving up either
we’ll see who is stronger.
I’m going to destroy you,
show me who’s wrong.

Tagore’s English rendering from the “Geetanjali” (Shared)
Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from
the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary
desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee
into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.
“Geetanjali”
– Rabindranath Tagore

The Road Taken
Shaded, faded, degraded
But i promise you my ending verse would be I MADE ITGrated, rated, penetrated
Hope is with what all my pain I tradedWaited, bated, segregated
You trying, well so am I, therefore you won’t see me retrogradedPierced, teared, speared
Failing is something I never FearedCheated, bleed-ed, mistreated
No appreciations, no acknowledgements, little bit of understanding is all I neededRaided, shredded, perforated
No matter how dark the tunnel gets, for them dreams I WILL MAKE MY OWN WAYBitten, smitten, mistaken
Words above define my ride, feel my rhyme and make the most of THE ROAD TAKEN..

Dear, Never Give Up
When they drag you down,
don’t let them be the end of you.
Pull away,
brush yourself off,
and keep on moving forward.
Don’t stop.
You’ve gone so far to give up now,
so keep your head up high and believe that
you’ll achieve greater.© VishalDutia

Do It, Go For It #Poetry
There are some things you will never know
Unless some things you learn to let goAnd some things that you’ll never find
Unless you take the chance of lifeHow will you know if you can swim
If you never try and dive right inOr find you’re not afraid of heights
If the mountain you never climbHow will you ever learn to fly
If you never reach out for the skyAnd how will you ever know of love
If you first don’t give some things upHow will you ever know this life
If you don’t give it a tryAnd how will you know the pleasure of it
If before you start you’ve already quitDo It, Go For It.
