MUTE MERCY
MUTE MERCY
Utter darkness torn by screams
Shouts accompanied by running feet
Running over one another
Falling into their death valley.
Bhopal becoming a demon
And moments later
Signs of withered life all around
Eyes looking into endless space
Mouth open and broken face
Bodies only a mass of cracked bones and flesh
Life snatched out of tender fingers
Leaving the living - deads.
To my utter surprise I see .....
A child sucking nipples of a bitch
The milk of mute - mercy flowing
To save a little baby.
And I bow.
The separation of loved ones.....
The misery and grief to be borne
Broken dreams,hopes and homes
Were they destined to be doomed together ?
Or the negligence played its part
Or was it just the human error?
And humanity - the sufferer.
