Death in Innocence

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
April 2015 · 1 min read

 

(Written on the Thar Tragedy)

 

Every toddler and infant

A star of our firmament

 

Can anything be worst?

Than death from thirst

 

The heavens quivered

The earth shuddered

 

Kids writhing in agony

Death crept to many

 

Tragic and pitiful

Poignant and painful

 

The heart does bleed

Eyes are sore indeed

 

A drought managed badly

Led to infant deaths sadly
