A Humble Prayer Poem by indira babbellapati

a three year old
smeared with insane seed…

a daughter of earth
her hymen torn into
useless strips
a mutilated vagina
intestines in smithereens

o, mother earth
why don't you charge
against your savage sons?
why don't you throw
your fatal paw on these
barbaric bloodthirsty beasts?

let an earth-quake
bury them alive under
the vulgar sex hungry
contaminated debris

in gangs
in hoards
may they be stifled
may they struggle for breath!

put courage into your
daughters not to cringe
in guilt for no fault of theirs
let them display the wounds
of the crude act, in human assault
to the world with no shame
that Huns of this woman-plunderers
bow their heads in shame

nurture your girl-child
on manna of courage
and self-respect,
o, earth!
