Daughter Of India- ANUPAMA KT

Raped, bleeding, left to die

I lay on the busy street

My soul in between heaven and earth

Paralysed from head to feet.

I saw a kind passerby

I groaned for help slowly

On seeing my plight he took a flight

I was a police case you see.

Then more and more onlookers came

Pitying me my plight

And reasons arose as to why I was raped

Perhaps I'd dressed not right.

Then finally a Samaritan came

Enquiring my whereabouts to assist

He lifted my head and gave me a sip

I was too exhausted to resist.

My body ached in million ways

But now I was all numb

The blood drained out from myriad

paths

A living corpse I'd become.

He gathered some more people

Who placed me in a van, distraught

Within me, I somehow knew

My life on earth was short.

I told my soul to leave not yet

My mission till dispense

Ere they came the policemen

For statement and evidence.

Barely responsive, holding on

I told them how they looked

The police sketched and then began

A search to get them booked.

The news now spread like wildfire

My brethren shaken to core

They banded in mutual outrage

Showing solidarity galore.

The perpetrators promptly nabbed

I made my dying request

That justice be on fast track mode

To judge them before inquest.

All violence on the vulnerable class

Must once and for all end

The judges passed the strictest law

'THE CULPRITS TO THE MOB SEND'.
