RAPE AND RACE
-Adarsh Myneni
The odour of a pungent spirit in atmosphere
She was struggling to open her eyes
Indistinct murmurs gave her even more fear
Pain in every tissue , she wasn’t feeling nice.
With ache in her stomach over and over
Legs spread still and bones out of shape
Blood on the white sheet , she tried to cover
Rust from the lady parts , proved it a rape .
White aprons and inquiring uniforms around
Camera flashes disturbing her eye sight
The last breath was with a weeping sound
Another rally of masses holding candle light.
In a helpless situation she wanted a hand
Hoping a peaceful farewell from this land
Neither the badges cared , nor did the steth
Rape and human race resulted in her death .
( In memory of all those women , who had this painful end . )
