SORRY , SISTER ( POEM )

SORRY ,SISTER    (  This poem is a tribute to Sr. Amala, who  was found dead in a  convent at Pala, Kerala) Sorry, Sister Amala, very  sorry to mothers,wives, sisters, girls, That   are  added  daily,  To the statistics  of the murdered, Added  to the never-ending list, Of the innocents   slaughtered  daily. Victims  of unspeakable  brutality, Victims of newer and bolder methods of killings, Experimented successfully, with impunity. Battered,mutilated, tortured, burnt alive, Strangled, stoned,abused,shot, Traded  like cattle, as slaves, Showered  with scalding acids of hatred, Abducted,gang-raped, impregnated, abandoned, Chopped and stuffed neatly in suitcases, Baked in ovens,thrown down from skyscrapers, And killed to preserve  'family honour', The saga of bloodshed goes on. Nowhere is safe, home, school, bus ,nursery, Nowhere, the agents of  Death  wait,   Under  the shadows,unchallenged. Sorry, Sister,the long  arm of Evil, Reached  your holy
