Amritsar Train Mows Down Sixty



AMRITSAR RAIL ACCIDENT
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
'take life for granted'
by recklessness, we are, to
instant death, slanted

what rhyme whatreason?
playfirecrackers on rail-tracks
foregone we are gone

blame hapless driver?
fordoing his job - to drive?
do we learn- ever

About sixty people were killed when a train near Amristsar mowed them down while they were firing crackers and watching dasara festivities! These people were standing on rail tracks oblivious to the danger of incoming trains!
