POEM
They marched ahead unarmed
to the fortress of their master in revolt
demanding freedom from the invisible shackles
since a prolonged period and
when they touched the
nadir of their patience
the master on hearing
the news of his subjects
rising in revolt against him
in a fit of rage and fury
ordered his guards to
crush the rebellion
and they turned dogs wagging
tails and sugarcane plantations
like an elephant making a mess of everything
by ripping apart the latter.
The guards took the plunge and marched ahead
with lethal weapons
crushed the revolt
cold-bloodedly killing most
of the victims who raised
the banner of revolt
against their master.
The guards displaying ‘V’signs
celebrated and returned to the fortress of
their beloved master hilariously,
informed him of the victory of
so-called ‘enemies’.
The master with his bloodshot eyes
burst out laughing
like the roar of a lion,
congratulated his loyalists
and presented them with
precious jewels and treated
them with a sumptuous feast.
The subjects across the
land gathered under one
umbrella debated, discussed, deliberated
and took stock of the situation
and squarely blamed themselves
for raising the banner of
revolt unarmed and were
ashamed of the futility of their action.
Decided they to arm
themselves to face the loyal thugs of the master
chalked out the future course of action.
The decision resulted in
bloodshed and blood spill
over the streets of
both the thugs and the masses.
Not taken aback
from a position of
strength and confidence
they fought to the hilt
and ultimately chased away the thugs
who like dogs tucking tails
between each one’s
legs fled for life.
The master turned, panicky
and he was butchered by
the fighting brave ones
and took over the
reins of the land……
