The Voice Of an Aching Heart
By Dr Sonali Sahu
Devastated and scattered heart of mine
Disconsolately moved in search of humanity
Blood sheds, murder and slaughter in every corner of homes
By the brother of the brother
Teared me into pieces in anguish.
Discontented and fatigue eyes of mine
Frantically yearned for love and affection
In the institution of marriage
Infidelity, adultery and disloyalty with sindoor and mangalsutra
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!
Made me cry loud in torment.
Disastrous and baffled mind of mine
Agonizingly craved for equality, religion and culture
Bombarding in temples, demolishing of musjids and assassination in gurdwaras
Left me aback, startled and surprised
Displeased and unhappy soul of mine
Excited and thrilled for the light of knowledge
But the pandemiccorona purposelyspread
By one human society to destroy another
Shattered and smashed me in agony.
Dearth of humanity will result to human less earth
Get set go and protect it with ingenuity
Before the catastrophe and havoc of war
Bring success and triumph
But no stayers and survivors.
