The Disabled Ticket Seller
With a severe head injury
Found dead ,is the news.
Five more similar cases of beggars
And disabled killed not long ago
Whose hand is behind all this ?
Those who try to beautify the city,
Are they not the suspects?
Moral ugliness of all this
Does not catch
The city dwellers eyes
When a nation is morally dead
Murderer is seen as a purifier
And a beautifier , a liberator , a hero.
Such a nation deserves a dictator.
Weep for my lawless mother land,weep,weep.
