A Tribute To A Friend Who Was Disappeared Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

My friend who was abducted by an armed group
Has come to see me smiling
With the face covered by shyness.
‘How did you come', I asked him.
Again, he covered his face with shy.
‘I did not go anywhere. I am here itself ‘, said, he.
‘Yet, I only see you today ‘, said I.
‘I heard that you were made offered at the alter
As the scapegoat.
I did not see even your dead body'
He did not tell anything, being silent.
Again I asked him
‘How did you come from there'
Then he started crying, weeping,
And telling, ‘I am still disappeared. yet
I am alive with you'
I waked up and see that I am on my bed.
