When I Was Raped. Poem by Hardik Vaidya

When I Was Raped.



When I was raped.

Naroda.
Army of men.
Turgid rods.
Probing their infamy.

I was pregnant.
With hope.
A new bud.
Woman.
You shoved it.

I was alive.
A flower.
Muslim.
You burned me.
Kerosene?
Blue, Indian government marked.
Unadulterated.

My brother,
A Hindu.
Will.
Nay
Shall
Avenge.

A ballot is a bullet.
