Predator And Prey Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Predator And Prey



The vultures are landing
they come in hordes
they had been waiting
while hunters, killed scores

Yes! they had been watching
from their vantage point
encoring the wild game
of depraved and deprived

so many of them
have been decimated
so far
brutal savagery
leaving generational
scars

tearless acceptance
helpless despondence
what more to loose
when they had no chance

So Vultures,
why make those speeches
in cacophony of your's
when you just wanted
for hunters to get more

news channels also
flash lights on these lands
where they will be surrender
to darkness again...

girls will be abducted
women will be killed
earth will be mauled
while predators will be thrilled...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am very disturbed by all these acts of depraved cruelty against women in India. ranging from female infanticide to rape of minors, bride burning for dowry the list is endless. my spirit chose a female body to be born in India. so my feeling of vulnerability is but natural and also feeling of empathy. governments change they come and go but the pattern never changes
