Happen To Demonstrate Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Mask can't afford to be a face shield-
To law breakers, offenders and criminals
Shield can be a substitute for law abiders
Holding back to those golden-era days
The flavour of nation's age old traditions
And the lessons learnt to the last times...
Perilous times, a true test for a common man
There's the need to break free from all ailments
Odium, disgust and hatred at such a modern stage-
Youth is getting infectious through vested interests
Still, stepping up forward their steps what a journey
Talking about the minds looking wise, as if, full of wit!

Deep, darker and explosive phase-
Attitude of mob, hooligans raising slogans
In the name of security and safety to farmers
Farmers, daughters and economy of the nation
Promising more and more of excitements...
Casting of shares and roles what take to play
Playing edgy-characters rushing out from mind
Out from so called political parties and activists-
Their ranks and files believing in their own myths
Conspiracies and tactics of negative dramatic roles
Buffs, standing behind as hosts can't show changes
Changing the entire trending moods of vulgarity-
Surely, it's shattering and alarming on their part
World of today needs actors and performers
Just, not singers, preachers or story-tellers...
Rather, reformers, actors with passion and instinct
That a very few leaders happen to demonstrate!
