Only one spark
Friday,2nd August 2019
How long shall we remain oppressed?
how long our voice shall remain suppressed?
will no one hear our heart's cry?
why not we give one more earnest try?
there is justice
there is a promise
I have seen burning fire
in their eyes to rise further
only one spark
to start
for the revolution
to strengthen the nation
has our soul died?
or our expectations are belied
we have never tried
only remained passive and lied
rapist get away
murderers stay
in the prestigious position
it is watched by helpless population
will judiciary prevail?
or fail
with delayed justice
should I see it before the demise?

This is sad reality of life today. The common man has lost his faith in the system. Rich are getting richer and poor poorer. Law is for rich and powerful only. Very nice poem.
