For the families of the government employees,
The adolescent treat of 'being together'
Thick and thin of time, turns out to be a harsh delusion,
Delaying for lunch, endless wait to dine together."
Wasted plans to grace family function or pain-God protect! - Together,
Endless-schedule and reschedule of outing,
Those never happen, like silo parenting:
With never-ending lies to kids and family.
Ceaseless lying to kids,
About their dear ‘Papa' or ‘Mom' coming,
Solo parent-teacher meet, solo weekend outing;
Lie about Diwali together, or attending any marriage.
Most painful of all the lies to old ailing parents,
Their old eyes close after the ceaseless wait.
Sleeping alone is not most traumatic,
But painful, agitated, throttling cries of kids are.
No comfort around but perpetual wait and wait,
Today, tomorrow, day after tomorrow or so many morrows,
But no cure to subside the pain of transfer and separation.
Breathe and die always in a fear of transfer and insecurity.
If by fault, the national servant is at home,
But mentally, telephonically, online attending,
To the call of duties and nation,
Peril and menace, increase day by day.
Every distinct casualty of a divided employee, anywhere;
Adds to insecurity and worries,
Nobody understands the loyalty to nation and laws;
When left nothing, bound to go for a post.
Always at the mercy of outlaw customers and politicians,
But blamed for all the ills by the administration and society as well.
Stress increases when servants and bankers, blamed for all the woes;
Children get the strength to face the onslaught of transfers.
Pray, that dark cloud of transfer and separations are driven away,
Pray, my children don't face this pain of separation,
Pray, my state abhor this ugly game of separation,
Pray, all enjoy peace, prosperity and above all togetherness.
