So long, sisterA Poem by Prashanth AshokOne of my country's citizen, an assumed sister, was brutally gangraped by six psychopaths and she fought a brave struggle to live, only to pass away today. This poem is a short tribute to her.
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. © 2012 Prashanth Ashok |
