MUMBAI

Shot to death in India.

Last night I prayed for their safety,

Immersed in huzpah, I felt calmer-

Then  the shock of knowledge.

Why, Why,why, why?

What goes on in the mind of a human being

Who aims at and kills a child ?

Shall we try to study the brain cells,

Try to excise the meat of evil?

Death is too easy a punishment.

Put them in a room and one at a time,

Let the mothers of the earth

Deal with them in our own way.
