Loss Poem by Kanishka SricharanPratap

Doctor said:
If not so
My business is in loss,

Lawyer said:
Mine also is loss,

Leader said:
Also mine,

Social worker said:
Mine also,

Media-man said:
Also mine,

Intellectual said:
Also mine,

Police said:
Mine also.

At last Judge said:
Than you
My business is
Million times loss!

Now all proclaimed
In one voice.
Rape
Raping to children
Gang rape
And murder...
Happened,
Is happening,
Need to happen.

For this
Why
Capital punishment?
