No One Came Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

They attacked a Christian family
tortured, looted, raped and killed one
the family shouted... help, help, help
I didn't go because I was not a Christan.

They attacked a Muslim family
tortured, looted, raped and killed one
the family shouted... help, help, help
I didn't go because I was not a Muslim.

They attacked a Buddhist family
tortured, looted, raped and killed one
the family shouted... help, help, help
I didn't go because I was not a Buddhist.

They attacked me, the Hindu family
tortured, looted, raped, killed my father
I shouted for an hour... help, help, help
No one came because I was selfish.
