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 faces
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 heartless human error
And the humanity - the sufferer
