Revolution

They criticised gods but create and worship human gods on every street and corner;

Mocked idol and statue adoration, but vulgarised every street and corner with busts and statues;

They sing the love and divine couplets, but use language for hate and divisive vibes.  

It is the depraved who are much higher than the virtuous; all pay respect to them.

The sentries have abandoned the posts and joined the traitors.  

The encroachers stand strong around the greens, and the squatters pelt stones at the law enforcers.

 

They cry for heat and warming, but exploit and encroach on the rivers like demons.

They worship the earth but destroy the earth by dirt, filth and trash;

They worship trees and forests but burn them for their freebies and comfort.

Seasons hunt each other like the tiller ploughs and move silently.

Mower mows, and the winter snow falls on the trees and mountains. 

Or people are flowing by the hamlet, vast and ruined.  

 

The lump and collapsed architecture, more than all the panting cities of the earth;

They preach the brotherhood, but behead humans for violent faith.

They claim to be peaceful, but behead the skeptics and thinkers;  

They preach compassion to animals but decorate the plate with non-vegetarian food. 

Like a killer fisherman off on a frozen lake, a killer waits by the hole in the frozen surface;

I am not the poet of righteousness, barely;  I can't refuse to be the poet of sin, too.

 

They condemned racism but reserved benefits and rights for races.

They advocate an inclusive society but worship language chauvinism. 

They pretend to be a casteless society, but go for a caste census.

They manifest social justice but widen the social injustice.

They lecture on inclusive education but categorise the learners on a caste basis.

They preach morals, but harlots, freeloaders, crooks are their comrades.     

 

They created feminists but exposed women in the streets, shows and art galleries;

They preach to sacrifice materialism, but manipulate donations and grants.

They lecture about socialism but embrace capitalism and luxuries:

They preach secularism but enact the toxic and communal laws;

They preach equality but milk the divisive and unequal laws and favours.

They promise an inclusive society but follow Arabian laws and practices.

 

These are the lines of a shy hand, this the propose and whiff of heart,

This is the stroke of my hands to your mind, this is the whisper of pain,

This is the deep inside and urge flickering  in my own eyes,

This is the unselfish fuse of my self, and the vent to the world,

The bliss of paradise is with man, and the agony of hell  is with man,

What a world nonetheless? Who am I? Who are you?
