THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Ahimsa died a million deaths
all - around infamies flourished
a nation was orphaned, plunged into darkness
as ignorance mated with fanaticism blind
and treachery and hatred their bastards born.

A sentencing done in-absentia,
in the Supreme Court of Hindutva
in in-camera proceedings...
by the Chief Justice of Fanaticism
the most honorable Veerputra
guardian of Manu Smriti
the penal code of Hindutva.

His crime was most heinous
and there was no remorse
a repeat offender,
defender of traitors - he had to die
for the motherland to be saved.

A summary trial, the sentencing was swift
Capital punishment, no less would do.

The executioner was appointed
and so were his assistants
armed with the death warrant
they set out in search
to give him Capital punishment
in the nation's capital.

The condemned man unaware of impending doom
sets out, as usual, to seek out his Ram.
It was then that they chose to send him to Ram
it was then that they chose to do the vilest of deeds
and shed the blood of a Mahatma's heart!

As the bullets of hate tore through the softest of hearts
a nation was backstabbed and heavily brutalized.
Though ahimsa died a million deaths
it resurrects worldwide to pay him homage
even as his nation carries out Capital punishments!
