Souls On Sale
Jitendra Kumar Singh*
Vanity upon vanity
That which they rejoice as god
As prayer, song and love
Noises only noises
They make fun of
Mother and motherland
With heart empty
Soul hungry.. mind oh you
They suck your blood
And sweat,
Do not count on them
Their pride, will, contentment
Are all ostentatious display
Enemity they sell as unity
They sell it
Retail and wholesale
They cheat you in price
As well as in good
Yet find not fault
They are lesser human
Your only conquest perhaps
Is your victory over
Your conscience
Your only God is your own self
Awaken your self!
