The Bone Of Contention - I Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

The Bone Of Contention - I

Rating: 3.5

Some claim no racist bone in body,
Moving with seamless bliss
Scarce do they heart beat miss,
They— voted in by democracy!

Thank you RM, being topical on happenings, it was a rush job, and soon after writing, like a new mother, it is easy not see the drawback of your child.
