by Radhamani sarma
All silenced to why?
Shot and ghastly sound
Unusual and scary,
Undoing all good in a second.
The jubilant music hall till now
Vibrant with Melody is
Turned into Malady of frozen blood.
Peace on Dove has flown now
to a temporary distant mode.
What you see unwittingly now
Is a void of cacophony ;
Your Sudden Silenced voice
holding your breath and
pulse. Gunmen induced not
pellets but hatred and cruelty
in their instruments, their aids,
to raid their surroundings.
You are a mute witness
To this volley of bloodshed,
Know not how long?
