Who will mourn sacrifice 
of a child 
that goes as feast to 
Goddess Chamunda 
in a coal kiln?

It was a Goddess 
but not a simple lady 
that 'll satisfy with a goat 
only 'tis kiln is not for goat 
so there is no question to vote 

"girl was missing ": reported parents 
fire brigade burst into torrents extinguished kiln fire wrath of Goddess 
police collected ashes of innocent kid 
they found her remnants in damp pit 
It was a man made little mining disaster only to weep 
Even no one sheds crocodile's tears 
queth Cassandra,  "who ' ll?"
None! Anatomists ' ll examine 
but no use to brawl on the matter 
'tis matter is of sacrifice to Goddess 
she ' ll happily leave contractor  - 
girl is now Immortal Virgin whom ,
who made her scapegoat 
was not reported
to be proved 

But every sacrifice makes God happy 
' tis is a mythical ancient custom 
a Nature's law made 
by man to bribe.
