IN THE MARSHY GROUND

It's about the fate of a girl child in Manipur State, India. The poem has 17 lines

Mama conceived her  for nine,

In  pain and sorrow for  several days to the month,

With a great dream .

 

 She came out  with her two fists in clench

For the dream.

 

 She grew up on her lap,

For her Mama

She had been the dream.

 

For fifteen years  

Hence she rolls on  to the  growth,

A lady in her form.

 

 Soon the Devil eyes bore her through,

In a few minutes They claim

Just for the lust of her, the  fifteen years.

 

They play her Life for fun,

And shatter  to pieces all the dreams,

 In the marshy ground lays her corpse.
