NOT ON MY WATCH

As if barking instructions to her is not enough
She gets beat up until her pulses show palpitations and get womb complications
Left with broken limbs and hips dislocated
Blue eyes, red eyes, camouflaged eyes all in the name of "I"s..
"I do this..I did that..I bring this home"
And she thinks to herself that it’s nothing an "ice" can't fix
But when she looks in the mirror and forces a smile with her chipped lips
She realizes that she can't take another fist

Enough of that "enough is enough" cliché
A woman is more than average, she is the Holy Grail
But many times we fail to realise that..
She is a Yi Dynasty porcelain piece that has no price tag
Regardless of gender, no one deserves a broken back or always living with hurt

A woman is a harbour, a man is a boat
When the boat sinks, she tries by all means to keep it afloat
A shelter where your burdens you can offload
In return for this she still gets her emotions bruised, gets physical abused and her body used instead..
Who do we expect to listen to us while we leave her ears impaired?
Who do we expect to be attracted to while we leave her skin pale
And her heart in pain?

Join the movement 24th June 2017!

Since time immemorial, human interactions have always been physical, within arms reach.  Fast forward  to 1887 as conventional history suggests,  Alexander Graham Bell  invents the telephone! It was miracle to hear someone's  voice  hundreds of kilometers  away. In the late 1970s and early 80's researchers worked on "the network of networks.' The idea was to facilitate communication between two or more computers, "Inter-networking" hence remodeled to what we now know as the Internet. A score of years down the line social media connectivity is booming! Despite having this instant form of sharing moments and connecting to our loved ones  in real time, there is still a void, a craving for physical contact. Holoportation is an end-to-end audio visual virtual augmented reality tele-presence system that exploits the use of 3D technology capture and algorithms to reconstru...
