Where were you
God, when those
Six devils were
Brutalising that
Hapless woman
For over two and

To forgive divine

Practising and
Preaching such
Meaningless, pointless
Politics in our Temples,
Mosques and Churches
So that all such criminals
Are freed and forgiven
To again commit such
Heinous crimes that hog
