The Verdict

Fear engulfed
On Imminent verdict
Peace not tampered

A brief background to this -

Yesterday a court in India was to pronounce a verdict on a 60 year old case. This verdict was a potential threat to communal harmony of the nation. There were fears that communal violence could break out. India was on high alert and elaborate security measures were taken.

As the verdict came out in the evening,  peace and maturity prevailed. The judgment of the court was accepted by all communities and not a single unhealthy incident took place. A new step forward for us.

Sacred

Bring him on the road
Shower with flowers
Drown with sacred hymns
