The bare truth-the only truth
Dr Ranbir Laishram *
Autocratic leaders,
Masked men in public,
Talking of peace,
Preaching peace messages,
Propagating social harmony,
A different human back home,
Counting dollars,
"Living in a bubble".
A thought of dominion,
A chain of elated dreams,
A facade of false promises,
Their "rule of law", a public cry
The power of three "M"
Safeguarded by he-men,
Like us, fragile humans
Like any other soul
At heart, reprisal for any assault
Unmindful of - Harming others is harming self
Others' peril also their own peril.
A visibly divided society,
Fueled by power politics,
The ever widening gap,
Of the rich and the poor,
The chaos and the order,
Intertwined in an inextricable-mass,
To which direction we are sailing through !!
Whilst the leaders live on, inside their bubbles.
Could there be any social justice !!
What the world needs is sensible leaders
Not an utter hypocrisy.
