Blood Sucking Vampires

The prevalence of underweight children in India is among the highest in the world, and is nearly double that of Sub-Saharan Africa, the report says. It also observes that malnutrition in India is a concentrated phenomenon. A relatively small number of states, districts, and villages account for a large share of the burden – 5 states and 50 percent of villages account for about 80 percent of the malnutrition cases. visit to the link

A tangible, vulnerable blow of air

Arid, dried with a dusty-layer

A fire, igniting the innermost core

Melting and flowing through every pore

Restive eyes are soliciting with a mute cry

Heart is tired with a sullen sigh

Body has been bent like a twisted oak

Hand and legs are strained like a fork

Stomach looks like a concave dried river

Forehead is burning with fever

A bony figure, devoid of flesh

Crippling and pulling, when we are in race

Of money, fame and passion

Oblivious to the question

Who is responsible?

Every one, but what about them

Who are feeding from the underneath of the table?

Crowing millions, burning billions with a religious label

Ignoring, one who is lamenting and crying like a feeble

Still deciphered as confluence of mercy and nobility

Tell me, are they not bloodsucking vampires?

Devouring and ridiculing their poverty and disability

For their clandestine- reprehensible-political empire.
