Acid attackA
a tribute to acid attack survivor in burn center Kirtipur hospitalB
A fine morning during round I see a girlC
In a red veil covering her remains surrounded by few relativesD
She watches she puts on a mask and walkE
Bowing her head in agonyF
Prolonged silence dies on her lipsG
She uncovers the veil manages a scream then numbH
She lightly traces her face who has she becomeH
All the blemishes at the face the fading scars on her thumbH
Ponders and wailsI
She was happy she was contentJ
She did not do anybody any harmK
She was just a normal girlC
With her goal her dream and ambitionsL
She was on the way to fulfill her ambitionsL
When acid hit herM
May be it was for rejection may be family disputeN
Whatever reason she was left muteN
Begging for answer why she deserve to be hitO
Left for distraught how easily offenders got offP
Destroying her face integrity and prideQ
