Twinkle twinkle, you little star,
You don’t deserve this world, by far.
For you got killed with such brutality,
By a few who can’t be questioned about their mentality.

You got dragged into something you could barely
understand,
The aftermath of which left you with a broken hand,
They dispatched you at a dump, cold and dead,
After the sadistic thought of seeking vengeance struck
their head.

Maggots had fested your body,
Rodents had bitten your leg down to bones,
How could they even fathom something so dastard,
Those men without backbones.

As you laid there in the dump,
Your eyes gouged out.
As it reflected your helplessness,
A cleaner saw it and let out a shout.

As the news spread across the nation,
Every citizen might have had a similar notion,
‘Twinkle twinkle, you little star,
You don’t deserve this world, by far!’
Twinkle,a young toddler who hailed from Aligarh, India was brutally tortured and killed by two men in a fit of rage over a petty issue. The brutality was such,it left the nation shell shocked.

If sterilisation
I do need
it would not
be my outer skin
but the toxins
that dwell within-
the past too often
is an instrument
of suction
it accumulates
dirt, debris, soot, dust
of every description--

yet
this would hardly
a therapeutic solution be
unless
I first clean up
the fested room
of my mind
remove
the stubborn chaos
of my heart
where doom
and gloom
sticks* their claim
and refuse
to part-

i would then
grow
to know
that self-realisation
would be my
salvation
and my life-saving
sterilisation
* where doom and gloom is treated as a unit
