Total Divulge Poem by Apuna Rato

As time come to yank man of leaders,
Another greedy parasite smile with
Wild manifesto of another Paradise
By biting the hands that feed him.
‘Money is not my cup of tea' echoes,
Yet his notion snares it and
Knock for blood brothers to fill the bill.

The vigilance commission has the proof
To quench all imaginary flames,
Yet the lusty tongue shrill the brain
Reminding ‘curiosity killed the cat'.
It makes them unclad from intrude.
Now the state expenditure is in file-13
And all the people dwell in catch-22.

Bureaucrats darn the old wasted
Theory of ‘survival of the fittest'.
History repeats with relapse bigotry
For filthy lucre and filthy rich.
NPSC is a game of cliffhanger
Whence well-equip poor has no place
And whence bird brain rich has option.


Look! How the leaders of the nation operates
The words and action widely segregate.
The worst deed is done in the name of Jesus Christ.
Unending thirst to baptize our brothers on fire
Barking up the wrong tree
Accidentally on purpose and
Leaves the patron between a rock and hard place.

People, they fight for dry state
Yet still preparing a feast in hell
With the old jar of whisky.
Police carry the ball to rinse
Yet it's a shot in the dark for cash cow.
The wall between reality and dream is money
And ‘Touch Kohima' untouched the minds.

Alas! Young minds confuse modernization with westernization.
They beat the retreat from rich culture,
Chewing the fat on new fashion,
And bet the bottom dollar on wine
Yet to cut the mustard on study is far behind.
They fancy white collar job but
Cream of crop will reap some other day.
