Today's news <br />A woman <br />Trying to commit suicide <br />Take her own precious life <br />In the busy streets of Calcutta <br /> <br />People passed by <br />Intent on their mission <br />Not a glance spared <br />Not a sigh <br />No protest <br />No asking why? <br /> <br />She hung herself <br />On a lamppost <br />Her life <br />Squeezed out <br />Not a glance <br /> not a shout <br />No stopping her <br />From without <br /> <br />She hung there dead, <br />Her life wiped out <br />Hanging by the lamppost <br />And still people passed by <br /> <br /> <br />This is the world today <br />Not a kindly ray <br />From the blackened sun <br />That shines <br />On our world <br />so far away <br /> <br /> <br />Is this humanity? <br />Is this our world today? <br />I Weep..... <br />As I read <br />Today's news....<br /><br />Arti Chopra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-s-news-4/
