Vasudevan Desikachari Poet Blank verse

Hungry Predators

Rose is beautiful 
                                    protected by thorns
                                    She is beautiful too 
                                    like the rose , but alas
                                    her beauty and chastity 
                                    laid bare unprotected,
                                    prone to attacks of
                                    of predators awaiting,
                                     like hungry jackals
                                    behind the bush to
                                    to pounce on hapless 
                                    prey grazing grass;
                                    Oh God the creator 
                                    how and when will you
                                    protect the womenfolk 
                                    from those  treacherous men 
                                    who remain ever so brutal
                                    despite showered by waters
                                    of civilization for years and years
