AFTERMATH

Between the mossy and thorned pathways
shadows slant. He trumps the press and praises PM
wisdom splashed in gonzo arguments
cocks the walk.  Others too feel his sting but prefer
silence. They know the caged parrot's free
to shame seven decades of democracy groomed
differently.  They know how weak they are
to stop the burning forest's ash from reddening
now aberrations clot in the mind
await Ram's hanging before the wounded converts
count the cries, lashes and piercings

--R.K.Singh
