1984 Widow Colony

 

 

 

 

 

Hope-

For them hope

is a rubber tyre

around their necks

Someone will douse kerosene

and strike a match

Dear Dr. Singh, how long does it take

for rubber to burn fully?

Does it burn slower than a human body?

    The perpetrators of the carnage on the Sikhs in New Delhi in 1984 (3000 killed) remain at large (in fact they are members of Mr. MM Singh’s party in power) . so do the perpetrators of the pogrom against Muslims in Gujarat, India (2000 killed-once again the Chief Minister, Narendra Modi was named). Now the Indian state has started a military campaign against the tribals of India with over 100,000 troops and helicopters. Indian democracy is one of the biggest scams of this era.
