Marwaa Diya? Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Marwaa Diya?

Rating: 5.0


The Protector - 5

The rapist-murderer was
a member of Parliament
from constituency x
for the third consecutive term.

In the next election, the party
shifted him to another, nearby,
and fielded another candidate
from the constituency x.

His anger knew no bounds!

On the date of election
the new candidate was killed
in a road accident; a truck
did the job, with precision.

Elected, the rapist-murderer
invited by the Supreme Leader
of the party, who simply asked,
"You have marwa diyaa him, no? "

This case too, is not among
the twenty eight criminal cases
of theft, burglary, rape and murder
still pending in courts against him.

Words:
"marwa diyaa" (Hindi) : got him killed

ONE: This incident occurs all the time, in all countries, in all lands and fates, so many true things have happened and articulated, but it takes one brave man to admit all these true events.

The true story is a fact, a greatest fact but wrapped in poetic paper. Fantastically done, Unnikrishnan!

A Very Thought-provoking poem, it could be The true occurrence, as Tolstoy did in the past, writing books about true occurrences and sold it as a novel/storybook that last till today. Excellent poem, Unnikrishnan.5 Greatest *****
