R.I.P Democracy

Current issue in India

 

Blood, Bones and flesh

Death,

Camouflage your eyes

Terror,

Fighting

War.

For what?

Asking Who I’m?

Doubting my origin?

Or my Existence?

I’m Not a Muslim

Or a Hindu. Neither a

Christian nor a Buddhist.

I’m a Human and

I’m a proud Indian.

 

What a

Catastrophic

Anti-National

Brutality.

 

 

Nepotism

Racism

Communal Riots

O! Ye need this?

 

Unity undone,

Amity collapsed.

Beasts unleashed.

Man is the prey and

Human monster predators.

For more power.

Seized everything

Even our Identity

And our integrity

More enmity.

You looters

We’re clamoring.

Are you thieves?

No. you aren’t. You’re

Murderers.

Admittedly I don't know muck about CAA or NRC (Especially with corona having hit since this was written) but I do appreciate the poem. It feels like a practice in word association, I like the use of an acronym. It would probably be more clever if it hadn't been in bold font but then people like me who aren't up to date with Indian current events would have missed it. So good call. Wonderful poem and I hope that you aren't personally affected by immigration law.

Powerful words and thoughts shared. I wish we could learn. Religion, color or race shouldn't rate a life. A person deeds should be his image we see. Same problems in the USA. I pray we learn. Every life had value. Thank you for Abraham for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Abraham George, thank you for your poem. Current events can be so disconcerting, but you did well with your poem. Your choice of short lines, strong, sharp, a balance between opinion and observation -- worked well. I also liked the acrostic, and I did not mind looking up the references. Current events, harsh conflict, can seem beyond our control, but you well crafting and controlling your poem.
