The Height Of Crime! Poem by NITHEESH ANNADANAM

The world of beauty and happiness
Has gone for ever!

Man was good and virtuous ever
Then came the monster ' crime'.

He took away the smiles from the faces of all
He erased off the colours of their faces.

Murder, theft, deception and kidnap
Became the order of the day.

There began suffering for men and women
And for boys and girls.

Crime grew taller and taller
And none was there to kill this monster!

As I was walking with my friend
He confronted us straight across our way.

My friend turned his head and strained his neck
To look at the height of crime.

He broke his neck and now waiting to die
And I am sitting near him helpless now!
