Mother and Justice

By Jayati Debnath

When a mother goes by

 Does she turn back to see?

 Her children, she left behind

 in the world so unkind...

 

 Does she turn back to see her

 vacuum of non-existence

 Or hear the cries of pain

 

 Days have passed since she left,

 Cry for justice echoes still...

 In this world full of cruel souls

 Rendering justice is a task uphill

 

 I long to see my mother once

 To feel the warmth of her hand

 To ask her if there is justice at all

 For which the world is waiting long;

 

To ask my question and hug her once again

I so wish there was a visiting hour to heaven
