God… Please Tell Us Poem by Kizhekepat Sankaran

You left us too soon
Nipped in the bud a promise
A potential too huge to imagine
How senseless a fate to reckon?

Dear student
Which death trap was that stretch of highway
That brought steel and steel in contact
To crush the tender heart so gay?

What Force took you away?
Is this some Godly arrogance?
What way do we mortals behold a fate so cruel?
That shakes the very ground that mortals behold

May you be happy in that another world
Of fairies and heavenly peace
Where burdens of embodied beings
No more disturb your tranquility

Yes… but then God has no answer
To those who are mourning
Family, friends and folks
Who prayingly entreat an account divine
