Aug'17- 2 Muslim men lynched for transporting cattle
24 Muslims lynched, 124 attacked
In Hindutva we trust, proclaim their tweets
Protesters murdered, Farmers shot
Just another hill of discarded meat
Media is dead
Bought or bled
They gouged their eyes out
but gave them a new mouth
Slipped on with no teeth and they all look the same
Reasons aplenty when the weak leads
Roars are pitch-corrected to friendly bleats
The sin against the Cow, they say
Rupee at an all time low
They laugh
Congress in 1947 caused the fall
We close our windows
Keep blood out the doors
It stinks still
The flies buzz around
They walk with sickles in hand
Pied Pipers lay claim to our land
Become a zombie or pretend to be one
Don't talk, don't see, don't feel
And, yet
Heroes rise
To pay the price
With Love
With Life
They fall with a smile
They are crushed into divine light
We feel
We see
Crimson clouds everywhere!
It thunders
It rains
The windows break
Illusions melt
Sound of freedom reverberates
Another day, Another dawn
Here for Freedom, Here for us!
