The Country Of The Dead!
The Country Of The Dead!


The Country of the Dead!
I never thought I would revisit the place,
The place, where, in the dead of the night.
My womanhood was brutally dilapidated
And I was left to die a thousand deaths….
But ‘The Ordeal’ didn’t end!
The assault continued
The people changed
Now the act was vulgarized and sensationalized
By the law in the court
People watched it on their TV sets and nodded a hopeless nod!
But I had to come, in the dead of the night
pan style="background-color: transparent;">Not because I have any fear,
I am ‘Nirbhaya’ the fearless!
In the deadly silence of the night
I entered into the room where Justice is delayed and eventually denied.
I felt nothing; I have nothing to feel but an inner emptiness
The room felt just the same!
Except for the ticking clock, there was nothing alive
I stopped, turned and looked into its eye
You, too stop because here, nothing will ever change!
Nobody will respond and wake up to your chime
Because the conscious of this country has died!
