Rashmi, a good poem, makes one seriously think. Thanks and have a great day.
Sky is such an important element to our lives, and never moreso than now. I also hope that actual prison reforms will eventually happen, as we know that current practices do not reduce but only increase crime.
Wonderfully evocative series of lines giving a powerful overall image!
