- Brian Mendonca
You surrendered.
Yet they killed you.
Before shooting
you in both knees.
All you did
was to plead
for the poor.
Surrounded
and neutralized
by the powers that be
Your 'encounter'
fans the nation's
conscience.
Victims of the flood
on the fringes of Jawania
You were their voice
40 kms from Ballia.
Seat of the Surya Mandir
District Ara
Pride of Magadh
Of Chandragupta Maurya.
Your mother, your father
grieve for their son.
Did he have to surrender?
Why didn't he just run?
