Masked Revolution
A Poem by Rukhsana Shama
O you, sitting on the highest power echelon of this country Revolution is mere change of masks??? O you who orchestrate these stage plays to ridicule, already ridiculed masses! O to you, The unnamed, the invisible nucleus of power Have you ever seen the revolution? How it looks like? O You Yes you, who pretends to be the only savior of this country Do you promise, from tomorrow, all the people will sleep with full stomach?? Health and education would be free?? Justice will be accessible?? O oooo Have you ever seen revolution? Do you know how it looks like? Or I am too naïve to ask this…

..And, well, this poem is engrossing - a serious examination of human condition. A commanding narrative voice and a certain grasp of the eery consequences of compromised morality in our world. Well, Rukh'sana, a propulsive read - one I have thoroughly relished and I am sure many a heart and mind can fester and foster the pertinent issues versed in your signature ink .
...And, well, I cannot deny brilliant literature, thus, I am stating here - of appreciating your fine, finer, and finest ink !
Laal Salaam ! Long live socialism.
