Sunday Poem By Pradeep Biswal

A Road to Hathras

It’s not a straight one But a zigzag way To reach there No matter who you are You may face hurdles To have a glimpse Of the village Now turned famous Thanks to the media Gone crazy for a few days. Reaching there You may encounter Hushed up silence Frightened eyes Plagued by insomnia And apprehensions. The hapless girl Got gang raped Crushed and maimed By the beasts Nobody came To her rescue The God in deep slumber The rulers in defensive Her cries and tears Could move no one She closed her eyes In silent protest . They placed her On the funeral pyre In dead of the night No one could see And as if nothing Had happened. Silence is so lethal Tears are so toxic The golden Lanka Is a flicker away A Sita is reborn Just wait and see.
