A Wounded Mother-In-Law Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

Past midnight dark, raining heavily;
Me and my wife, going back home;
From a party, far from the maddening crowd.
Scared, driving slow;
Thunder and lightning, ceaselessly.
In the light of lighting, dreadful;
Saw me, a disheveled-bleeding old woman.
Stopping the car,
But scary wife asked, "Why did you stop the car? "
I pointed towards the woman bleeding,
The scene made wife scarier.
Bleeding woman came to the car
And pleaded to down the glass.
Terrified wife asked,
To start the car and move away.
Seeing her pathetic condition,
Thought me, she wanted some help;
Feared, wounded lady stammered to speak,
Brother, my car met an accident and fallen into a deep pit.
My daughter is trapped in the mangled car.
Please! Save her.
Came out of the car, accompanied the woman.
Reached far and deep, near the car;
Saw, a young beautiful woman trapped in the mangled car.
Took the unconscious daughter out,
But saw another badly-wounded-bleeding woman,
On the other seat.
The terrible scene made me out of senses.
On the other seat lay dead the same old lady.
The beautiful young lady regained her consciousness
And asked, "Where is my mother-in-law? "
Shocked I and my wife muttered:
"For the life of her daughter-in-law; her mother-in-law,
Fought death and rough terrain to save her dear daughter-in-law."
