God Save The Children Of India From Deathly Midday Meals, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
political lethargy
disinterested deals
corruption that kills
along with negligence
reveals ..a mothers
pain that will never heal
a father carrying
the dead body of
his only child ..poisoned
by insecticides served
as goatmeal.. the absence
of his laughter the void
..surreal
had they only known
it was not the bad
wolf but time their
children come steal
as the spokes bleed
a childs head stuck
under the tires of
a cosmic wheel
its only when you
lose your own child
you will know what
it feels ,,god forbid
such a ghastly
painful ordeal
