Rose Poem by Upendra Majhi

Rose



In three separate incidents
one, a busparking in the university campus
whole night near the ladies hostel,
out of twenty departments,
each thought that it is for picnic
by one ofother nineteen.
Before daybreak bus disappeared,
for one full month.
in the second incident,
dozen men climbing hostel walls
everyday tothe roof of the hostel.
no police, no money to pay police,
in the last scandal onsofa set
that rocked the nation.
you are narrating yellow journalism,
that in the wildest dream,
will not occur topoem
it broke many hearts,
made many flowers wither
even now hearts are bleeding,
aftermath of what Juliet said to Romeo
an actor told another actor,
rampage occurred,
and rose becamea bloodred rose.
for blood oozed of it.
Rose is a rose.
even if it bleeds!
What to do with my name,
for anybody's name,
for that matter.
Do it off.
Do them off Romeo or Ram.
