OBITUARY ; MUMBAI RAINS

This is not to mourn

those who died

during the wicked monsoon

when the 'locals' thundered

and death rained

with precision lightening

sending hundreds to heaven

on 7/11.........

 

Lots of people have done that

outpoured tears

out of their hearts

real tears that shall never dry

like the spilled blood that can never be washed out

of our consciences

 

This is to mourn

the crocodile tears by certain men

(read certain Leaders )

following up by politicising

for personal gains ....

 

The agony

of MUMBAI RAINS....

 

My friends

please note

Dead men do not vote

you will all pretty soon

join the ranks

of those who are dead

if you do not vote out

those

who thrive on the politics

of vote banks...

 

The words of Mumbai Rains

will keep 'glowing'

but the 'embers ' shall smoulder

and you might end up

carrying your bodies

on your own shoulders......
