Snapshots At Border Poem by Ajit Das

Children being ripped away
from the arms of their mothers;
parents not being able to see
where their kids have gone;

from within the metal cages
heart-rending cries rising,
asking for their papi, mami -
what a scene of inhumanity!

But in the intense sobbing
insensitivity finds a joke:
child actors staging an orchestra;
only a conductor missing!

Then a jacket causing outcry:
I really don't care, do u?
Is it a message against ‘fake news'
or demonic ‘zero-tolerance'?
