3 Innocent Killed in a Blast!

3 innocent killed in a blast
in connaught in delhi,
in front of mc-d's
the fav hot-spot of crowd's confluence

john and mary were together
for half and four years
in love, they brought an angel
edwin on this Earth!

that old lady, john's mentor
tanned dark in the heat
of the Sun, that had
already set in her life

her name was lost
in the novel of oblivion
authored by john
before he married wealth.

a begging bowl was all she
held in the palm of her hand--
five years back, it held the keys
to the entire three billion

add to it another two billion
made by the marriage to it
brought mary in dowry with it,
by so called unconditional love.

ah! how was this possible?
by the removal of father-in-law--
to compensate for the loss in census,
he made the baby edwin.

it was sunday afternoon
two years later, the age
of the boy, the perfect
family, basking in happiness

the night before, the mother
hugged her son, slept tightly
while the father was out on business--
of losing money for a night's pleasure.

this morning, the mother dropped
her son to school, with a kiss
the father dropped five grand
and that too, with sheets, and kiss.

the bell rang, signaling the end
of the school, the mother and
the father came, picked him up,
striking the strings of family, together!

this afternoon, the bomblast !
blew a broken pavement, a dried tree
a crow, who had as much poison
and 3 innocent people.

mary was shattered
she lost everyone she had
tears were frozen in her eyes
became motionless in deep shock.

she donated the wealth
to charity for welfare
of the socially challenged
old, blind, crippled, mentally..

she went in peace
deep in meditation
found her self
pure and divine, as God.

the crippled betrayed mother, john's creator,
went to God in salvation, all her karmas
paid, the final test being passed--
of Destiny's face mirrored by her's!

had john been alive
she would have known
him, a murderer, a perfect
betrayal, thirsty for wealth, lust..

broken,
solaced by wine,
heart filled with emptiness,
just as her wishes for Life would have...

had her child been alive
he would have carried the
father's mother's traits-- drunken mary
would have died in car crash..

God's writ Destiny :
The headlines of today:
"3 innocent victims
killed in a Bomb Blast!"
