To The Gallows, Thus The Man Goes

To The Gallows, Thus The Man Goes

 

To the gallows

goes

human arrogance

of their inheritance

of human conscience

as divinity’s presence

when four perverts

exposing human filths dirts

were hanged to die.

with applauses reverberating the sky

as if with the execution

vanish will those men and deeds for certain.

 

To gallows, the four went

seven years and more in jail they spent

combating there with hardcore criminals

devoid of conscience, mercy, and morals

losing the jot of divinity in them left unspent,

where one accompanist commenting suicide

the other juvenile was freed and under an NGO’s hide,

nothing left for them to repent,

dropped, not a drop of tear

from even their mothers,

before the break of Match twentieth dawn

as if to hide such heinous crime under the sun.

 

With erroneous perception

collaborated by misled social evolution,

agriculture providing the least motivation

the lure of urban life kindling high ambition

rush men to the city and become slum dweller

where perverts intoxicants are their masters.

 

The juvenile culprit

us, can never acquit

since his childhood, on his wing

being an offspring

of poor’s’ recreations

under failure and frustrations

in their toil to meet the bare need

to booze, to boost passions for pleasure and breed

and get involved in nefarious acts

on their kids, those have devilish impacts.

The perverse acts there, of uterine brothers

speak the morals among slum dwellers

where the thoughts speech and deeds

.go devilish, thus to their offspring it leads.

Born to wild lust the unwanted, uncared child

left to grow in slump becomes misled and wild.

 

Also the men at higher rung of the society

enraged by inner filth and urge of notoriety

are no way less in their perverse feats

but silence all by the power of their seats.

Laws are misinterpreted for their benefit

Emulate them as icons but go to gallows a poor culprit.

 

Victims after being viciously thrown

and over them, the culprits' bus failing to run

were crying with the dying pitch

it took hours, them the aid to rach.

Passers byes many

acting inhuman and funny

ignored and moved unaware

being merciless to the pains of the pairs.

’

In the hospital with no proper doctor to attend

with the pain and pang hours they spend.

 

In the jail Rama singing suicide

a mystery that has been set aside.

as case of suicide while inmates were asleep

as if his inner voice cried, him to repent too deep.

 

The sum of iotas of falsehood together

cause the fall of human morale structure

resulting in the slums not alone among slum dwellers

but man worshipped at the helm of powers.

 

With those four we should all go to Gallows

we all are responsible and unable to stop such immoral blows.
