Picture Prompt# 371

Celebrate your victory
That you have broken the shackles of evil customs
But in your jubilation, do not forget those unfortunate ones who are still in darkness
Half of them who truly want to be free
Would like to hold your leg and fly with you
And would hinder you in flying
Others who think they are happy in their darkness, ignorance
For whatever reason, perhaps fear
They would hold your leg and stop you from flying
Would like you to stoop to their level
So that you cannot rise above them
Take everyone along and touch the heights
So that the path to freedom becomes easy and permanent
Some dared to tear their veils
Some dared to break the chains of corruption
Some dared to dream big
Some dared to take a high flight
They were first attacked
They were hurt
Some were burnt alive
Some were defamed
For those,
Who did not accept defeat even after much suffering and humiliation
The sky opened its arms to embrace and solace
But
Don’t get carried away by the joy of small victories.
Some fights never end,
especially
the fights for self-respect and rights.
The opponent always looks for
an opportunity to humiliate you again.
