Death of a Scholar- Rohith Vemula
At age of 26, Rohith Vemula
Died, cold murdered, homicide
Left his legacy of fight
Against atrocious tide
Of mislaid humanity
Death too wonders,
What killed him tender?
Injustice if condemned,
I too would have delayed
Avoided brazen condolences
Perpetrators of this heinous act
Unfazed by a scholars death
Like Vultures on corpse
Alas! they don’t realize
His thoughts will survive eternity
Transcending all forms of inequality
In the sea of inhumanity
Guiding light for many
"Rohith" a new star is born, for world to see
And salute its immortality
