HOW FUNNY - Manas Bakshi (India)

 


HOW FUNNY

 

-         Manas Bakshi (India)

 

Electrocuted a crow

Fallen flat on a road.

Some others encircle it

And shriek

Unable to lend voice

To their mourning--

 

Assassinated long back

A political worker

Some people encircle his corpse

Disinterred,

Not unable but unwilling

To raise voice

Tactful, they whisper!
