POEM
Society goes on
moving backward and forward
or in other words
like a pendulum
moving left to right
and right to left.
The practices of dowry system
and the rituals
like Shariat law,
honour killings, beheadings
stoning to death or hanging
in public places in
the very eyes of public
so as to inject terror
into their blood-stream,
the blood-curdling or blood-chilling acts
continue non-stop even in this
first half of 21st century.
And if such acts continue unabated,
the future scenario can
easily be predictable.
Likewise
since time immemorial
much blood-shed must have been
the order of the day.
Still mankind never
gets tired of pursuing
its role of a dove
with olive branches
between its peaks…..
