Imprisoning Images Of India Poem by Shujaat Hussain

Gone are the features of India’s vibrancy
Used to revel together at every occupancy.
Melodious voice of nightingale lost from the garden
How the fairy tales believe India as an Eden?

Always shared sorrows and severe times
Without religion, caste, creed in all climes
Honey tongues and communal harmony
Were the pillars of our national ceremony

Innocence and virtues are scarce in our country
Since politicians have become constitutional sentry.
Some leaders in the face of human structure
Causing limbs of the Mother nasty fracture

Now song of sorrow, hatred and miseries
Rape, ransom, and riots are the visual series
Heart and assets were sacrificed at a call
What a wonder all morality had a great fall

Loud prays, generous alms and crowd at temples
Making gods fool by these disguised samples
Bharat, cow, and Ganga as Ma deserved worship
Now various debauch babas are getting fellowship

The resources be spent for the welfare
Incase of deprivation causes warfare
Men of pen, excellence, quality and learning
Passing time in counting days for their earning

Galaxy of notorious holds sway in governance
Corruption and crime have their cognizance
The paid and partial news has changed the sight
While Indian English poetry is scaling the height

What kind of songs contemporary poets sing
Listeners are pondering over changes will they bring
Sow the seeds of verve, virtue and vision
Every evil will finish is a strong reason

Wisdom demands creating a fellow feeling
A healing balm of suppression and severe reeling
True practice of justice and equality
Guarantees love, peace and prosperity

Issues accruing from the jaundiced decision
Let it bridle with wit and precision
