Is It The Way

Rating: 5.0


A Jawan deployed to curb insurgency was abducted
and later on found brutally strangulated by the insurgents
The mutilated body was seen deserted in the desolate jungle path
He was the lone earning member of a poor farmer's family
On whose income the five member family was solely dependent
The body was brought to the native village in a cavalcade
for its last rites, the mother got fainted and went in to coma
When all others in the family screamed, the septuagenarian father
looked at the deceased body closely and questioned to the gathering
utterly blank, is it the way to raise revolution
and bring a change in the present political and social system?

A very stinging indictment of the so called revolutionaries fighting the state to 'bring a change in the present political and social system'. These purveyors of mindless violence should be annihilated. Thanks a lot for sharing such a powerful poem.
