For no fault of yours, you so badly suffered.
For no good deed, you gained so many siblings
Brutally slaughtered, you had to undergo so much hardship.
To satisfy the barbaric desires of a few monsters, you paid a price.
With your suffering, a bunch of morons called women names.
Dented and painted, one called out
What nation is this, that cannot protect its own children
What country is this, that passes on the buck (each time)
And then you were airlifted, in the hope you would survive
You fought hard, at home and abroad
Yet, God wishes otherwise; he took your life away
Is it so that you can reclaim your dignity; pass on to peace?
Sorry sister, you deserved much more
With your absence, you gave us a cause.
So long!
Rest in Peace

DeleteI saw a status in Fb, "She has gone to a place where there will be no crimes!" I feel so bad and this makes me so sad.. touchy one!

DeleteWe live in a nation where the daughters are neither safe in the womb nor outside. It is really a shame. If this is going to continue, India is no more a safe place to live in.
ReplyDeleteWell, rather than that, we ought to make India a safe place to live in
DeleteBeautifully expressed the poignant incident, Prashanth. We are still wondering about the fate of this country which cannot protect its citizens.
ReplyDeleteJoy always,
Susan
