MORAL POLICING

Even in this modern age

friendship between

a boy and girl

or a youth and a lass

during walk the talk

is often mistaken for

immoral relationship

by the self-proclaimed

moral police in our land.

They are being chased

and warned

or heckled and thrashed

and even go to the

extent of beating them up

to pulp and murdered

by these ‘moral police’.

These so-called custodians

of values and ethics

never feel like

inquiring them about their

whereabouts and relationship

before taking the plunge

to indulge in beating

and lynching the

friends or brethren.

These slaves of medieval age

instead of imbibing the

true message of these times

stoop too low to the

standard of the children of

medieval age.

When will their narrow-mindedness bid

adieu to them or will

they continue to exist as such?
