(123) Shalvy Mulberry

Rating: 3.0


Shalvy Mulberry:
Martyr of letters,
Rainbow in the dark!

With young leaves of mulberry
and your blood, you fed
those worms of letters!

When they became
Lords of letters:
you were the scapegoat!

Depths of kindness,
respect in words and
dagger in the heart!
They needed you for
editing, publishing,
selling and after all
for an address: ‘Mulberry’!
This time belongs to them!

O Unquiet souls,
beware,
his blood will
never sleep!
It will torment
you every moment!
Every footstep!

*Owner of Mulberry Publications, Calicut, who ended his life of desperation.

I didn’t read any of his books, never did I meet him, but I hear about him every day.. He was a man of unmatched talents, loving husband and a good father. One day in the midst of scuffle with my software, just like that, I thought to have a glance in to the past, ended with numerous search results in google.. I wish I met him.
