STRANGE TIMES


These are times of
melting glaciers of arrogance
broad smiles reflecting familiarity
boundless treasures of humility
unlimited politeness
abundant promises
of bringing heaven to earth
 ‘sincere’ welfare seekers
platitudes abound.
These are times of folded palms
friendship, sympathies and empathies.
These are wonderful times
sorry, wonderfools’ times.
Nothing surprising
elections are a stone’s throw away…..
With begging bowls they come
not for donations but for invaluable votes.
Don’t be amazed
if they prostrate before us…..
