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.

Crime by ommission
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!

A linchpin that doesn't fit the axle!
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!

A Genuine Friend
'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!

Truth Has More Risk
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!

Who is the saint?
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!
