Truth........Burning Poem by Sheshu Babu
Truth........Burning
She never wavered.....
While vultures surrounded
And mercilessly hounded
She had the will to fight
As long as the Sun held her tight
And egged on
To be stern
In her determination
To expose heinous rape and exploitation...
She never wavered
Though she was attacked and burned
Assaulted and brutally tortured
By the influential village goons
Born with silver spoons...!
She burned
But Truth survived
To tell her story of courage
Drawing people out of their homes in rage..!
Truth is like fire
It glows for generations to inspire
And march towards final Justice
In the world of misogyny, male hegemony and vice! !
(A 'tearful' obituary to Unnao (U. P. India, rape victim)
