No bigger tragedy than this can happen Mam' the basic fundamental unit itself having abberations and forming cracks and upon whom to place hope and build our society? Sad, it is on the rise slowly like a serpent rising its head getting ready poised to attack, unless we act swiftly and justly, what punishment willbefit them - I can not think? It is happening every where but percentage of reporting is supressed. A social evil sleeping in the coner within our homes, you have identified and thrown a light. Terror within the walls of ones own home, you have raised the question well, Are we civilised Anymore? Thought provoking and disturbing poem too. Angel

the voice of concience that watches over how we behave and makes us feel guilt and shame is not heeded for selfish gains True...though sad being aware to reality. Home is no longer a safer ground to stay coz sometimes crimes are made in our own home such homicide, incest, rape, child abuse and many others...Great write! An eye opener...

Ultimately, the generation today Have re-written Civilization as A right to do that one thinks as right It has become a thumb rule To impress one and all Above all, the self. Thank you dear poet, For the concern in this poem. Deeply touched by the truth And it questions me... Where are we heading? Is there a way out?

a social issue brought forward in words of concern... truly need is to realize humanity rather then make it big on tv just as a news...

may be true...it shouldn't have happened. but it is just an aberration... could be one in so many millions. and so it is certainly not a 'trend'. well, mamta, your are putting an alert on human mind...a poem addressing human behaviour
