The Haunted Place. Comments

Yes, history tells such sad stories of genocide! Native Indians were brutally assaulted and murdered by powerful invaders. I don't know if there is any truth in haunted places. But this story is of absorbing interest from start to finish. Reading this, I am reminded of the excavations at the site of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb and the mishaps that followed it!

'Oh my dear son, several generations have passed, when invaders this village pillaged. They killed men, raped and murdered women. They dumped the corpses beneath this ground. Young girls girls of the village they abducted, forcibly married and to your religion converted. Being of my daughter's lineage you have duty, in accord with our faith, perform our last rites, and thus from ghostly bondage free us my child.' terrible atrocities are going on every where. .....God dont u see all these.......... thank you dear poet for your heart piercing words in this poem. tony
