True be he
Plodders tread darkness
ask questions
to knowable faces
and their knowable ways.
A quiet willed walker
draws a snare
in the gregarious backyard business
of profit.
Incomprehensible pause in a life
meant to live long.
The cornered stare
moving a distance too far.
And the questions tightens and tightens,
layer by layer it strips
vast unfenced land,
and funerals so common.
This dedicated to Mr. Manjunathan, a young manager at IOC who was brutally murdered by mafia for trying to expose their deeds. As a viewer I am grateful to TV channels particularly Zee News (also Star News) for providing an in-depth coverage.
My condolence also on the heinous murder of Mr.Mannaippan Kutty (a keralite eking out living as a driver in Afghanistan) by Taliban.
