Turning a blind eye
Also, intimidated to
Challenge the autocrats "Why? "
I condoned the slaying
Of the honest and workaholic
Subordinates on integrity's altar
Allowing on my conscience
An indelible scar.

The hardest way
It came to my head,
If a linchpin doesn't fit
The axle,
It is as good as dead!
An honest man
Amidst many a ragamuffin
Is just like one the last nail
Is hit on whose coffin!

S/he who
Our amity loves to cherish,
S/he who
The fulfilment of my wish
Has a bent to relish,
S/he who
Serves me a right arm
To parry,towards me,
Inflicted harm,
S/he who
Like a mirror
When I err
Gently draws my attention
To self-image
Tarnishing error,
S/he who
Basks in my success
Than covertly prove
An enemy adverse,
S/he who
Like a wolf in a sheep skin
With my closest ones
Doesn't commit a sin—
Which to forget but not to forgive
I will find hard
Before I am sent to
The graveyard
S/he who
Like a cat or snake
A retaliatory measure
As a knee-jerk action
Does not take,
Also with gentle admonishment
Willing to forgive
My mistake,
S/he who
Without ifs and but
My inborn follies willing to accept
S/he who
During all seasons
Agreeable or adverse
A chameleon
His/her stance
That doesn't reverse,
S/he who
That doesn't
Behind my back gloat
When I lose
A battle fought,
When the aforementioned
Conditions set
Are met,
As gold is tested
With fire
A genuine friend
I admire!

'As telling lies
Is dangerous,
To it, you
Have to be averse! '
Parents, teachers
And society
Made me, cherish
This mentality.
Along the age road
The hardest way a new
Lesson I did upload.
Awaits those,
More risk
The truth
Who opt to speak!
For reporting strife,
Beating to
An inch of their life,
Or hacking them with a knife
Detaining the innocent
Has become rife.
Yet come what may
Speaking the truth,
Is what I choose!

Is it the pompous pope
That blessed off tanks
And hailed fighter Jets
Bombs to drop,
On modestly armed patriots
Marching for a fair battle
Entertaining hope,
Not suspecting
A non-stop
Rain of
Banned poisonous gas
Lethal as Nazis
Mass destructive soap?
What is more
Is it
The self seeking pope
That sacrificed
An independent
Country, a push over,
Expecting a reward handsome
- an earthly kingdom?
Or
Is it the martyr monk
Who warned(cursed) the people
And land
To fascist colonizers
Not to give a hand?
What is more
Is it the
Selfless monk
Who was atrociously
By atavists
Gunned down
Scanning the sky for
A heavenly crown!

The revolutionary ardent
Bordering on a prophet
For democracy's advent,
Up on grabbing
The rein of power,
With a superb
Acrobatic bent,
For a tyranny
An example set
For political thugs to emulate!
