2nd Of June ( Tracks Of Blood )- Pamela De Souza

Life is too unpredictable,

All I do is just look for answers.

Is life a sweet looking mirage?

And death the unknown truth?

It was a devastating Saturday,

Dated 2nd of June.

Three trains collided,

Leaving many lives and families doomed.

All came alive and happy,

Imagining their trip to be great.

Bitter truth lies where,

Some of them had to go injured and dead.

Luggage scattered including dead bodies around,

Screams and cries of people vanished without much sound.

Dreams and lives shattered apart,

Vibes of sadness ruled the ground.

Wrong signal was deadly killer,

Near Bahanaga bazar railway station.

Lifeless bodies lay on the tracks,

Totally blood stained and silent.

Some people in panic state,

Goods too scattered in a messy way.

Silent cries of people could be felt,

Unheard miseries were buried deep inside the rail.

Though many stories lay unfinished,

Still we move with a hope of revival and new ones to bloom.

...

Three trains of which,

A goods train loaded with iron ore.

12841 Coromandel SF express,

And 12864 SMTV Bengaluru -Howrah express.

Killed two hundred ninety two and 1,175 people.
