FUNCTIONING..ANARCHY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
need.no.trigger, we.are.by.birth, raucous
a.mere.hat.dropped, can.start.a.ruckus
we.agree.on.nothing
our.rifts.are.not.soothing;
still.stick.together-isn't.it.wondrous?
~
this.patchy.fabric.holds, somehow
seems.to.fall.apart, but.doesn't; wow!
anarchy.that.functions
despite.dire.predictions
India.simply.can't.be.unsewed

I must say that this a classic satire.....! This is what we call unity in diversity! ! Even in the midst of all conflicts and ruckus, people are glued together! This write deserves top marks!
