Let Me Sleep In Peace

Let Me Sleep in Peace
That fateful evening
The horses came back 
Alone
She was missing
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
Eight years of bubbling life 
Chirping like a bird
Running like a deer
Silenced 
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
Eight day later
Found dead in the jungle
Among the trees and flowers 
She wandered everyday
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
Months later
Investigations unfold a story of horror
That puts India, the goddess, the temple 
And humanity to shame
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
Religion and land 
Claimed human sacrifice 
She paid the price
Of hatred and greed 
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
Trampled, crushed, abused 
Sordid stories untold 
Now she lies safe, beneath
In peace
Something somewhere went wrong that day…
(This poem is a tribute to Asifa Bano of Khatua who was abused and murdered in January 2018)
