Oh! Lovely Taj, <br />This is where you stood once, <br />Beaming with pride, <br />Your beauty you cannot hide <br /> <br /> <br />To early November light <br />You woke <br />Stretched and yawned <br />Found a gun in your face <br /> <br />Now you are in shambles <br />Broken pillars <br />Cries of people dying <br />Bodies frying <br /> <br /> <br />Frozen faith, Shattered panes <br />Political sympathies, Booby trap <br />The invisible man, Pot shot, <br />Fagin's day, Boman, Last dinner <br /> <br />Crumbled under barrage <br /> 'We will build a new Taj' <br />Carnage, blood collage, <br />Can we bring back the entourage?<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lovely-taj/
