When The Cpi(M) Had Been In Power In Bengal Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

When the CPI(M) Party had been power in Bengal,
It tried its utmost best to demolish
The constitutional structure
Of Indian democracy,
Throttling the freedom of speech and expression,
Toning down people's liberty,
Sealing the lips,
Censuring the press,
Giving power to the proletariat
And leadership to the cringing bourgeois
And to student leadership,
Recruiting and regimenting the comrades
As cadres,
The sepoys and saviours of communism,
Doing politics at the grassroots level,
Eliminating the non-communists,
Organizing the the Local Committee, the Zonal Committee
And the District Committee
To keep a watch and vigil over
Through the spies.
