Morass Poem by Sheshu Babu

One step forward
Two steps back
The world is in the middle
Of a deep morass

Withdrawal of troops
But attacks continue
Syria or Afghanistan,
The US foreign policy
Is in deep morass...!

Allowing women into temples
But unable to stop protests
Supporting male hegemony
Covertly or overtly
The society is in a deep morass...!

Inaugurating science seminars
But propagating archaicdogma
Highlighting unscientific past
Indoctrinating gullible masses
The philosophy is in a deep morass...!

Boasting of democracies
And freedom round the world
But implementing surveillance
Methods to curb dissent
The living of people is in a deep morass!

Earth is in a deep morass...!
Environment is in a deep morass...!
Life is in a deep morass...!
Future is in a deep morass...!
