Kathua and Unnao

in poetry •  7 years ago 

two nationally publicized rapes
kathua and unnao
religion appears to be at play in one
the other seems to have a political hand

rahul gandhi lights a candle
maneka gandhi is deeply disturbed
the father who’s alive asks for the death penalty
the bruised father who’s dead cannot even writhe

the supreme court will examine the kathua case
the allahabad hc orders arrest of an mla in the unnao one
know not, what tomorrow may hold
remain hopeful, of saner days
