Weapon

I asked curiously

‘Oh cow, how you’re alive?

Aren’t you the one

Who was slaughtered

By a man last week

And a mob lynched him

For that as punishment

Cow answered

‘It is not me dear

But an image of mine

Living in the internet

That dies repeatedly

To provoke lynching of

Innocents and vulnerable

A right-wing photographer

Had clicked me once’

‘It is my real image

I’m now her fake mirror

That’s a WhatsApp cow

A new weapon of terror’
