Tears: Mumbai Poem by Rani Turton

Tears: Mumbai

Rating: 3.5


Third day running
So many people down
Never going to go home
Never going to go home.

Tears in this crowded town
Silence broken by gunshots
Tears in this crowded town
Lives laying themselves down.

At the end of it all
Nothing much to tell
God must be wondering why
We seem to revel in Hell.

Rani, I do not know why people have to terrorise other people, I want to cry because they cannot see our shared humanity. Like you said nothing gained. So I echo why yes why! Thank you Bob
