Riot

Harshdev Madhav

In the riot
The words of peace are burnt
The clothes of unity are pulled
Universal of humanity is robbed
The body of Ahimsa (non-violence)
is torn into pieces.

The “Shanti-mantra” of Rishis
is lost
In the streets swallow in curfew
The truth of poet
is ruined in ash with innocent houses
The religious austerity of saints
is grieved in torn limbs of People

Goddess Muse is imprisoned
in the pages of books
The deserted milk-cabin awaits
the dry-lip crying child
In closed medical store,
The life of dying person is packed

The fire-ended by Fire Brigade
is burning in the hearth of widow
which has lost everything.
