The Captive States! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

One Single Feudal Lord,
Intends to Pass on a Single,
Mighty Large State to His Son,
To Further the Cause of,
His Community Alone,
With the Support of,
A Central Family Dynasty,
Before Partition Occurred!

Bastions of Two Families,
Dynastic Politicos For Decades,
Assumes Power & Plans to Pass,
The Two States as Lineage,
To One and Only Son's of Theirs,
To Further the Cause of,
Their Families Alone,
Lest their Communities,
And Rest of the Society!
With the Feudal Still,
In Opposition in a State,
And the Central Dynasty,
Plans to Avenge a Comeback,
With a Revenge by Tit for Tat!
That's the Story Till Date,
After the Division of States!

Lessons Were Not Learnt,
Will the History Repeat itself,
To Teach a Lesson Or,
Should People Suffer Long?
As the Joint First Citizen,
Of The States Eager to,
Prolong His Long Tenure,
In Either of the States or Both,
Plays a Devil's Advocate,
Plays Musical Chairs,
To Further the Cause of
His Own Native State,
Exploits Conditions Favourable!

All The Evils Conspiring,
The Feudal Lords and
The Dynastic Families,
And The Opportunists,
Of Centre and States,
Left the Two States in,
'Bermuda Triangle' State,
People too to be Blamed!

As The Plight of Crores,
Of Aspiring 'Telugu' People,
Hung to the Rope High,
In the Air Floating like a,
Balloon to be Punctured!
The 'Andhra' & 'Telangana',
States in 'Indian Union',
Captives of Few Families,
Human Rights Violated,
Before, During & After Divison!
