It was the year of 1984,
haunted and eldritch to be known
The ever known hazardous chemical made by mankind,
Just for the sake of rich minds.

It was methyl isocynate,
produced by union carbide india limited.
without safety measures,
they are incessantly producing it with pleasure.
Thousands of labours:
working for hours.

It was the day of adversity,
when tanks are defective and facing scarcity.
Failed attempts were made to repair the tanks,
but avarice made them to fill 12 times more gas.

The water when entered into tank,
the vigorous reaction would thank.
The effect could be seen,
and the life of 615000 people ruined.

The carcasses are piled up,
the state turned into burial sites.
The corps are stacked in trucks,
left the imprint more lethal than drugs.

Those who survived are more unfortunate,
cause the destruction force them living while dying,
with disorders that are horrifying.

The self centred minds,
conssumed thousands of kinds.
