There was a huge round of applause
When a cute and little white dove
Was shot at & injured by a stubborn boy
With the licensed gun of his father
Who was watching it with bewilderment
No empathy, healing or love for the dove
Lovely poem, very topical in today's violent culture, and gun culture.
Yes, that's what has prompted me to write this piece. Thanks a lot, Sir.
After going through all reviews of esteemed poets, I don't feel to add something more but I don't like shooting! A poignant write sir.....................................10

I would like to translate this poem
Just with six lines you have made bare the gun culture of the people in the modern era. .Doves are birds most docile and harmless. To shoot down a dove, i feel is an act most cruel. Imagine! clapping and rejoicing the killing of an innocent being........Rajnish ji an intense poem....10
Geeta ji, you have very nicely reviewed the poem and summed up the impact of such mindless violence. Thanks for being on this page with a thoughtful feedback.
