She was neither the first nor was going to be the last....

She was neither the first nor going to be the last

Who was   hunted and chased by the vultures,

Crushed,molested and gang raped

Tongue cut, backbone broken, limbs paralysed,

The whole body and mind writhing in pain

Before she was finally massacred and murdered..

Buried in midnight in a forlorn place

By the State in a hurry with police honours?!

Denying the relatives to see her face

For the last time in this birth; 

The victim's relatives were confined at home 

Their mobiles were confiscated,

The entire village barricaded

Opposition leaders arrested, manhandled

And the daring journalists

Prevented from ntering the war zone 

With words of poison poured out by

The Drunken monkeys on the sordid event,

The script was complete...

It read like this :

The girl was not raped and the opposition

and the journalists were fomenting class tension

To tarnish the image of a well governed state

Others were instigating violence against the state.

Foreign hand  too was at work,

To destabilize the government and so on...

The indifference of police and Magistrate

The betryal of the state machinery

Frustrated and dominated by the State,

The silence of majority and distortion of truth

The denial to perform the last rites and mourn the death 

Continuing threats and intimidation of 

Victim's family .....enraged me, pained me 

I wrote to calm me down and prayed to 

The merciless God to rest her soul in peace.
