Ananya Apte

 

Bathed times a hundred still couldn’t wash of his feel,

That one dark night the demons had made the deal.

A lone soul on a lone street; exactly the devils’ need.

Do the beasts ever have pay for their deeds?

 

A naïve, free bird flying in the sky

Dropped down dead as the bullet flew by

The hunter roams free with head held high

Not one soul strong enough to question “WHY?”  

 

A shadow in the dark lurking for its bait

An illuminate body has just stepped out of the gate

The clock strikes twelve ends the moment of wait

Only God knows now what is written in her fate.

 

I believe humans have lost humanity

Society keeps quiet losing all its sanity

Beasts roam free high on their vanity

Alas, they snatched another girl’s virginity.
