disgust – Meenas Poems

The Word That Causes

The word of importance

the word which carries weight

the word which commands power

the word that percolates through

the word that demands

the word that ruins

the word destroys

the word that plays havoc

is not anything ecstatic

is not anything lovely

is not anything that is ethical

it is that which we call

some with delight

some others with disgust

even more with scorn

is the word corruption

that has entered everywhere

robbing the morales

depriving the rightful

prospecting the powerful

making them rich in tons

that which we have to condemn

with a vigour and rigour

be it corruption everywhere.

Let Thou Rest In Peace.- Nirbhaya

An untimely ride took her life away.
She went to a movie with her boy friend anyway.
Had she kept her timing right away?
She would not have suffered in the pathway.

Students of Delhi unite to protest.
Their rising put the government to a test.
The Medical world gave her the best.
Yet she died and was put to rest.

The physical injury she experienced was terrifying.
The violent attack on her was horrifying.
The picture of the poor girl in death-bed was frightening.
The whole affair gives an unprecedented trembling.

The manhandling of girls is universal.
The pain and shame are beyond redressal.
The shameful attempts are multiplying in progression geometrical.
Most lay buried deep in cohesive bustle.

When would all these atrocities come to an end?
The act forces every head to bow down and bend.
None of us could pass on the blame to a different send.
We,as a tribe, have to ruefully accept and mend.
