Ashes Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Ashes
Mahsa Amini
a girl of twenty two
is murdered
by Iranian police
for violating dress code
not wearing a hijab
much to the chagrin
of the civilised society.
Such religious
autocracies
have no place in
today's world,
but they do exist
against His Will!
Let's hope
He opens
His third eye
to reduce
the oppressors
to mere ashes.
