Vijay Sai - Burnt Flower

Siblings playing see-saw
Tiny-tots hiding and seeking themselves
Boys fielding cricket balls
Hitting fours and sixes
Girls throwing throw balls
Parents leaving their toddlers
Just in time as the bell rang nine counts
Striking the hanging iron rail
Children hurrying all over
Running to their classes
As in one such class
A boy in standard nine
Slipped into his class room
Stabbing his teacher brutally
Collapsing her completely
All and sundry arrived
And took hold of the boy
Why he made such a heinous crime
Everyone stunned
At what he uttered
Enraged by the comments
Of what his teacher said the previous day
Mildly asking him to do well in his studies
Warning him of his complacency
Though whatever she said is in the best of spirits
Nothing can stop her from becoming an innocent victim
Sending shock waves all over
Let us all pray for the noble soul
To rest in peace
And no more such ghastly incidents…

Vijay Sai
