17. The unfortunate one


She is 8, 30, 40 or 18
A child fascinated by the life of her dream
Once a young and beautiful soul
Now scared and tortured by the acts of all
She pleads, she pleads, she pleads and she pleads


I am the lucky one who escaped this scarlet fate
Yet, for how long because I know my destiny awaits
This outrageous crime which seems to be a norm in this society
Is sure to bring misfortune and create anxiety
I plead, I plead, I plead and I plead

They who feel for the girl and want to strike
They who bear a clean conscience and know what is right
Protests and candle march is the source for them to rebel
Against the society to show them the fear their hearts avail
They plead, they plead, they plead and they plead

She Pleads, I plead, They plead, We plead
We plead for mercy
We plead for justice
We plead for honour
We plead for change

Image
Press Release is an official statement issued by an organisation sent out to news media to provide information, or to make an announcement. It is written by a communication professional on behalf of the organisation to achieve the communication objective. Press Release is the most basic and frequently used form of writing when it comes to business writing, especially in the PR fraternity. But not all messages need a press release to be conveyed to its target audience. A press release should be appealing enough for a journalist to work on, otherwise, it would just add to the waste.
