Mass-Rape Poem by Kanishka SricharanPratap

What we took?
How much? ?

You can not ask.
It is prohibited.

But
Mass-rape
By dragging away
Is true.

After rape
The head of the minor
Was pounded by stone
Is true.

Burning of face
By pouring acid
Is true.

Digging out the eyes
By iron rod
Is true.

Cutting out her breasts
By biting and dragging
Is true.

Wounding the vagina
Inserting rod
Is true.

True... True... True...
The girl is dead.

The lower court
Ordered
To hang the culprit.


We are of higher degree,
Fully veteran!
We did our work...

Thrusted... Thrusted...
And thrusted the pen
At right point,
Gave life
To the accused
To be hanged!

We held the dignity.
