Going to Hell by Ananya S Guha

A legislator   rapes a minor

everyone is ashamed

not of the legislator

but of themselves

people keep silent

murmur, silence is

a better half. more understanding

keep silent. some curse the man

and do some verbal bashing.

but everyone is abash

that this could happen

here!

politicians are mummified

it is better to embalm them

in scathing darkness.

judicial procedures go by the book

he is released as per procedure.

by procedure too, let him go to hell.
