Lamentation

Yesterday at noon
A farmer,
Was run over by a Parado,
Blood splattered the road,
People of the village,
Tattled about the death,
A moment few,
Then silence prevailed,
As if nothing happened.

Today a crow
On the electric pole
Has entangled
Amid high tension wires,
And the whole family of crows
Lamented over the death,
Almost the whole day,
As if nothing of theirs
Remained in the world behind.
