Rahul Poet Poet I do not know?

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
