I stand with head down in shame

I now know you are there,
I know you can breathe sometimes,
I know that you are in pain,
Do I wish you could still feel?
Nothing can change what has happened,
How I wish I could have helped you that very day,
Even if a single person would have heard you cry in pain.
Your eyes look around for that justice,
You want to live we know.
I don't understand how you may still wanna live though,
The pain will pass by,
But what about whats going inside?
Someone touched me in the bus that day and I cant take it out of my mind yet
How would you take those 6 men out of you?
Shall I say men?
Or shall I say penises with evil heads?
Aaaaaaah.. Why could you not just miss that movie.
When I read about what happened I was sad and in tears,
Didn't believe what has happened so read it again.
Where did you send your soul then?
From where did it return with such a power to live.
I cried many times the day I read about you.
Did it help? No
Was it only me who cried? No
That rod went inside all of us.
Those 6 penises went inside all of us.
They will never come out.
There would not be a day when our soul would not pray for you
There would not be a day when our soul would not curse them
Could it help make you feel better?
I don't think so.
The whole city is on roads,
but I know you fight alone.
I have not met you,
I have not seen you,
but I wish that no one has a fate like yours.
You have been torn apart from inside and outside,
and they say a charge sheet would be filed within a month.
You are bleeding and so is your heart,
and they say theek hai.
You were naked 
and they say don't get angry.
You were beaten 
and they say lets not go against the human rights.
You were raped 
and they say read between the lines.
I am sorry on behalf of all those who are still able to say so.
I can't take you back to the state you were before,
but I stand head down with shame.
Being a part of this system,
calling myself an elite educated one,
I feel ashamed.
I wasn't there, 
And even if I was, what could have I done against the 6?  
But I wish I were there,
to have taken at least 3 inside me,
so you could have felt maybe lesser pain.
I stand with head down in shame,
In front of a woman every twenty minutes,
I stand with head down in shame.
I stand with head down in shame.
