Trainstorn-'wait for Rectification?'

      Train storm ---2 ‘wait  for  rectification?’

 It isn’t   the wholesome Shift,
sudden   gathering  clouds
 dim, dampen, mild  sun’s  rays.
Tambaram Sanatorium
Chennai’s prime location.
Bustle  of  commuters  by
Electric  train –all  now
In  a   halt. Heavy rains
Flow of water-inundation
On the path, tracks beyond
Rectification. Platform  is 
The asylum. Greed and  lust
 Sit In the owl eyed, unsparing
 Even  those from other states
For livelihood. Costly  is  the loss
 Of  honour: the  silent tracks,
 Silencing  those  pained  voices.
  three year old slipped/missed/
  who  knows  for ransom? Mother’s
  wail travels beyond  train  stationary.
