This is the problem: when it is most essential for us to keep our wits and deploy our arguments in the battlefield of debate, our tongues fail us. The time and place of crucial skirmishes are never to our choosing. Caught wearing our airport brains, reluctantly shuttling between our air-purified bubbly bunkers, we splutter in righteous ineloquent indignation, and fail to defeat in conversation the very person we most need to convince into submission. Untouched by our ideas, a billion people with voting power vote into power the powerful while we shout slogans and articles at each other.
“If girls dress the way they dress (every day, less!)
how can young men not want to cop a caress?”
“But should they not possess the Freedom To Dress
that you and…” “Nonsense, young man, you're a pawn in the chess
political parties play every day, sway
kids like you who should be studying not shirking;
these protests prevent people like me from working"
In similar rhyme and with similar reason my fellow citizen, this 5 foot 8 inch long summary of everything my blue-and-white opinions oppose went on until he begrudgingly dropped me off at my protest march against the New Year mass molestation of women in Bangalore.
