Time's up
Slienced the hopes, buried the beliefs
Failed the faith, no promises one keeps,
But it's not that clocks run for one,
Time goes by dial and same patterns
retain their old style.
Screamed the souls of betrayed,
Yes they aren't afraid..
Of dominance, of power,
If there is drought for their dreams,
to their equality, it's going to be shower.

Time's up
Time's up for me
to stop doing favours to those who
are never there for me.
Time's up for me
to finally cut toxic relations in my life
and start valuing myself more.
Time's up for me to begin focusing myself
on my goals.
Time's up for me to stop thinking about others' needs
and to give some space to my own priorities.

- daffodilpearlzz Wise I would say Being compassionate to the honest is good, but knowing someone is toxic and still letting them taking advantage of us is never the direction of right deeds. So it is always wise to draw lines and boundaries :)
- thelunareclipse @daffodilpearlzz I agree with you, dear.We should draw that line.Thanks a lot

Time's Up
A rebellion clamped, grew up
like a protuberance blooming
out of hydras, and then
voices adjourned together
as a refuge born of
tyranny and outrage,
seeking vehemences in adversity,
and refusing the umbrella of silence
during widespread outbreak of
equally waged thunderstorm
a well known disparity.
While the minute hand converges
to evade the gap between
hourglass and time,
people still tend to diverge
on terrible vengeance of society,
lust walks over narcissistic minds
smiles get covered by
facade of evil chimes,
while desirable touches no more
mind their own business,
that's when seclusion isolate
from self esteem.
Reigns of terror are bleak these days,
when a woman's skill are labelled
by proximity of her body rather
than talents,
where smitten pioneers feed
on her flesh and skin,
but time's up when she negotiate
pain for someone else's pleasure,
time's up when she is harassed
and her freedom is disrobed in leisure,
but time's up when limits are crossed
as her wounds are dug deeper and deeper.
Now it's time to back-stab
retaliate fierce over power,
emphasize voice over silence
bringing out all the hush hush,
for wabi sabi exists
so does women's rights,
time's up not to bear or forgive
but to stand for you on yourself,
for everything is impertinent
in this confined world,
till all remains is your
decisions and choices.

Time’s Up
Every time you look at me
With a sly look in your eyes
Every time you think it a done thing
To brush a leg against my thigh
Every time you casually drape an arm
Around my shoulders and think it alright
Every time you make a pass at me
The moment your wife’s out of sight
Every time you promote another woman
Thanks to favours that you expect
Every time you demote my status
The moment your advances I reject
Every time you treat me like I’m incompetent
Just because I said a firm ‘no’ to you
Every time you talk inappropriately to me
At a workplace event after a drink or two
Every time you’ve sent me suggestive texts
And emails in the middle of the night
Every time you’ve forced meetings on me
Inspite of me putting up a fierce fight
Every time I’ve been embarrassed
Thanks to the lewd jokes you crack
Every time your hand ‘accidentally’
Wanders to the small of my back
Every time you’ve left unwanted
Gifts on my office table
Every time you created a hostile environment
And then suggested I was mentally unstable
This time is certainly not that time
When I will be silenced and shut up
This time you’ll pay for your misdemeanour
Know that this time your time here is up

Time's to come upon
....
According to me;
It's just the time to come upon,
To fight against the worst thing we are alone.
If someone stared us with bad thoughts.
Its the time them to taught.
It's the time to come upon!
It's the time to come upon!....

Mournful days and persistent pain
Plagiarising our regrets and past mistakes
Sapiens embraced equality not long ago
Yet morals are murdered in silence
Voices are smothered with money and reach
Why bother as long as selfish carcass is safe,
Denying unity that can resolve all malice
Intoxicated with apathy we often go blind these days
Times up we must have salvation from wickedness
Here's some discerned phrases to pave the way
Disregards for education, we forget the problems
Chivalry is dying and so is respect for everyone
He was innocent yet Bruised and abused at seven
She got butchered by lust driven animals
Transgenders hardly left out from these equations
Dwelling upon gender while abuse is unbiased
Since to own a gender one must be human,
While molesters and abusers fail to be one
Whereas victims they've become heterogeneous
Hence real culprit is malevolent mentality of sapiens
The one that fuels this Morbid obsession
That devours and disparage every person
An ailing disease ingrained within rotten minds,
Violence beyond compare Eradicating humanity
Times up, we must understand the real devil
As long as awareness is suffocating under apathy,
While world squabbles about politics
Modernity asking you to embrace money and glory,
We'll always shatter hopes of morality
They exist as long as humans believe in harmony
And it dies when we believe in pure evil
Hence the world is what billions will make of it
All talks of perspectives are irrelevant
Until the tides are turned against the obvious
We have improved and created respite indeed
Proper knowledge has prevailed in recent times
Organisations have worked and solved problems
But there's much to vanquish in our journey
Times up, we must believe in a world of peace
Some false accusations and disbelief prosper
Many real ones dying in ignorance and oblivion
Some privileged ones contribute when they want to
While many are Oppressed under the same roof
We all know its here and where's the solution
To deny the Prevailing kryptonite is hazardous
Jeopardy is not the amount of abuse going on,
Its the fact that most of it can be prevented
And yet it has been allowed to happen
Together in unity can this demon be conquered
If all say times up, there should be no abuse
Those eyes must undress their own characters
World must be Emancipated from flaws
Words must comply with proper Actions
The future can be made with more love
We are the saviour and we are the destructor
One must contemplate which part should be owned
And which part should be annihilated from existence
Times up, we must build paths for compassion
For serene, for rapture and for a better tomorrow

Time's come upon...
....
The girl must never been felt embarrassed,
Instead of raise voice being purest.
Taught lesson to harasser,
With a good smash✋starer.
The world usually wanted the girl to hide,
But it's not right.
Instead they must secure them,
making them a strong stem.
Girl child should be able to live life,
Free from bully and harrassment which are rife.
It is the time for we all to took stand,
The security against this we should demand.12 0 1healing_pen 70w
Today, free yourself from the shackles of insecurities.
Unburden yourself and ignore the society's expectations.
Listen to your suppressed feelings and pour them out into chords. Play it hard until your fingers hurt
And give yourself a second start.
Because you deserve it.

Thanks for the read and like @writersnetwork
Time's up
Today I want to play
Each note, each tone
That mocks your legitimate and perpetuate
Your so called masculine power
You exhibited that night
Today i want to sing out loud
The song of my disturbing thoughts
One of those feelings
That I cannot explain or detain to myself
Today I want to barre my guitar strings
Until my fingers bleed
And play out a music of my perturbing feelings
That silenced the remains of my youthful living
Today I want to dance in liberosis
And sing to the tunes
Which fits my music
And release myself
From exhaustive emotions
That you injected in my nervous system
Today I want to scream
And no more sit and cry
Over the sound of b flat

THE MOROSE ROSEBED...
Whilst slumbering in the emerald womb
Ardent dreams of adorning
the velveteen scarlet gown trimmed in slivers of verdant hues
And oh how they'd say
"look at the pretty red rose, surely a harbinger of Eden's love, a chalice of brimming mirth"
Whilst I awake, clad in
resplendent drapes of tinted fuchsia and ambrosial scents
heart strumming an ode to euphoria
But oh how they'd say
"look at the red rose, surely the petals, the frills are all too gleaning..."
Whilst I writhe in a grimy grasp,
silken laces unfurled
breaths shallow, petals drooping an ashen grey
And oh how they'd thunder
"look at the tawdry little rose , surely she desired to be trundled, waltzing in the hedges in such showy hues.."
Whilst I fall,heart withering
in a steering void of blues and the remains of a faraway july
For roses, they'd say were never meant to dance in the summer rain
Silks our spelt salacity,
evening dew always dripped in debauchery
And oh how I'd say
"Look at the emerald diadem of thorns , and they shall only gaze as the morose rosebed blooms like an eternal poesy once again..."
©leo_scamander22 0 3She is a woman
She is a white woman
a fragile skin a delicate foot
like a soft piece of petal a
molested garment like a
frosty fire of sun drenched
summers
amid white skin of harsh
winds and dull polaroids of
sky crystal less pages of
world narrate futile funerals
of her harassed poetry who
wanders with garnished wilts
and sail free spirits around
natural miseries of being a fille
patriarch cages wait for
chopped feathers of wings
to fly on their own
dead petals of liberty they
pour upon angels rose from
red coloured wombs
rotten lights they lit consoling
phrases unknown to evil blinks
sovereign pinions of prophecy walk
coldly here and her dead corpse
sing sombre woes to stand on
her own crunched toes.

Too Late
Regrets in my eyes,
Wails in the ears,
Memories inside,
Longing to have you by my side.
No time to waste,
For money's a haste,
Forget the lofty,
For temporary.
Now, the clock strike,
It's time's up,
Never got a jiffy,
To say how much you mean to me.

On January 7th 2018, The New York Times had announced that hundreds of women in Hollywood launched a movement titled ' Time's Up ' to counter harassment of women in the entertainment industry and elsewhere. The movement was initiated to give a voice to everyone and make everyone believe that they will be heard.
--Today, write a poem or prose titled ' Time's Up ' against harassment.--
#timesup
#wod @mirakeeTime's up
Time's up to discriminate someone because of their gender.
Time's up for telling someone what they can do and what can't.
Time's up for differentiating by difference rather than celebrating one.
Time's up for ruining someone's life for some moments of pleasure.
The world is not the same for everyone. But lets try to make it better for everyone. because this is the right time. And if someone doesn't want that and still want to oppress let them know their Time Is Up

Gather your wits
See the writing on the wall
Reads loud and clear
"Time's up" for planet earth
Only you can arrest this
with preventive measures
And the start point is to
treat Her with love, as a child
Loves her mother
Wake up, roll up your sleeves
Put your act together
©puchka46 0 5How much longer will you keep our mouths stitched with your pointless threats?
How much longer will you tie our hands with your undeserved power?
How much longer will you strangle our necks with your pitiful desires?
How much longer will you ask us to keep quiet for the safety of your skin?
Not a second more, your time is up.47 2 4ru_chaitraa 70w
Time's Up!!
It's time to leave your PAST in the PAST,
Let it remain where it belongs,
Don't ruin your PRESENT due to others' wrongdoings,
If you try to live your PAST in the PRESENT,
You are destroying your FUTURE as well,
Coz FUTURE is how you live in the PRESENT,
So STOP breathing life into memories,
Stop SELF SABOTAGING,
coz TIME'S UP for VICTIM MENTALITY.....

They said I was to blame
By wearing these types of clothes
That don't cover enough
They said I was to blame
By not screaming loud enough
How can I when I was being silence?
When I froze in fright, how can I?
They said I was to blame
Aren't you the victim they say
But aren't I the survivor?
They laughed in my despair
They stared at me judging me as I walk by
Calling me names for what I've done
What have I not done?
They don't believe me nor do they want to
Why tell the truth when it will be covered with lies?
Lies which will be believed
For they are told by a man not a woman
They don't believe that killing him was a defense
But I couldn't let his hands touch me anymore
The fear turned into strength in which I used to defend myself
And I'm in the wrong for that?
They say we have a voice
A voice that's silence or not heard no?
For here I stand taking a sentence he was suppose to serve with no voice to scream the truth
But I know I'm not alone
That people have the same fade
That they defended themselves the same way
When will their time be over for them to be free?
I wonder about all the others who still go through it
İf they will have a voice louder than mine
If this time will be over for them to be free

Time's Up!
The sun went dim as illicit prevailed
And ghost fellows shut their lashes
To the soul in pain, humanity abused!
Their lavish air pods took over screams
Poor agony silenced under warm tunes.
The morning sun is out lightning the injuries
Yet no eye wake has got a spark of justice,
As the clock that said time's up has fell
And broken into thousand tiny pieces.

वो खोई सी हंसी
बेफिक्र
बेपरवाह
वो अल्हड़ सी हंसी
बेगुनाह
बेजुबान
वो मासूम सी हंसी
होंठों से कभी दूर न होने वाली
वो बेख्याली की हंसी।
वही तो गलती थी,
न जाने उस हंसी पर
कितनों की नीयत फिसलती थी,
बाहर के तमस से दूर
वो पाक सी हंसी।
वो हंसी जो आज गुम सी हो गई है
या यूं कहें
गुम कर दी गई है
कुछ दरिंदों के पैरों तले
कुचली हुई हंसी।
उन होंठों की हंसी
जिन्हें हाथों तले दबा कर
शरीर को तब तक रौंदा गया
जबतक उसकी रुह की चीखें भी
खामोश हो गईं,
उसे ज़िन्दा रखकर भी
मार डालने वालों के बोझ तले
हारी हुई हंसी।
कल के अखबार के किसी कोने में
दफन हो जाने वाली
मदद के लिए पुकारती हंसी।
उन जानवरों को आज़ाद देख
कोने में सहम जाने वाली
खोई खोई सी वो हंसी।
लोगों से डरने लगी थी,
लोगों के कहे में आकर
खुद को ग़लत समझ ने लगी थी।
आंखों को कभी न छूने वाली
नापितोली सी वो हंसी।
बेफिक्र
बेपरवाह
बेगुनाह
बेजुबान
वो खोई हुई सी हंसी...

The last tear
I cried again today...
Like everyday i do
everytime i remember what you did.
I cry and cry
till my eyes run dry
And dont make a sound
not letting anyone hear it
Not wanting my weaknesses to be found.
I cried again today...
I was hurting
like I have been for so long now
I know you don't care
or even wanna hear it
And still managing to hurt me somehow.
I cried again today...
Just long enough to feel the pain
To let it reach, touch, overpower
every inch of my brain
till I was feeling numb
and sure that for the day I was done
and won't need to cry again.
I thought I was done with it,
I thought I left it behind
I thought I had moved on
and put it all out of my mind.
But today I remembered again
And I cried again
And I promise
no one heard a sound,
No one saw the pain
Your secret is safe with me,
But I am broken,
again.
