dying light

the dying light in broad daylight

the rainless clouds and the smog filled nights

“how do we now fly kites?”,

ask the kids and their innocent eyes

the parents take no notice.

busy with misinformation on news

hate filled & forwarding messages

“do you know how wrong the other religion/caste/community/political party is?!”,

having no time to self reflect and doubt.

never stopping to introspect:

in an oppressed’s hate, there is a lack of hate.

in an enraged woman, there is a lack of rage.

we are all sell outs; selling our souls and buying hate.

is it too late?

this is how hitler’s germany was.

we are all mobs now in crowds.

if you disagree; read history.

those that do not learn are bound to repeat it.

this may seem like “achche din” now, but we are truly defeated.

new india? it is a propaganda.

those falling for it are all offenders

of failing our future generations

wake up. pay attention.

fight for the rights.

fight against the might.

rage; rage against the dying of the light.
