The Burning Train Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The burning trains,
Stranded passengers,
Damaged platforms,
Broken signals.

What sort of people
Are they
Who can burn the trains,
Damage platforms?

For the first time
Saw I the people
Setting trains on fire,
Gathering to storm it all.

Throwing stones on
The running trains,
Breaking the windows,
Damaging the tracks.

Atop the asbestos-sheeted
Platforms,
Pulling and breaking
The canopy and its avenues.

Damaging the signal system,
The station master rooms,
Beating the railway staff
And the security personnel.
