Demon Of Reservation
|
|
Cacophony of wails rising from sacred bosoms
Shackles of caste once again tightened over
Blood riddled wounds of suffering humanity
Breathing strained, agonizing pains,
Stifled sobs, incessant sighs
Her million odd children being pulled apart
Divide between regions, rituals, languages,
Once again impaled Goddess of knowledge Suffering humiliating torturous pain
Heartless senseless lusting for power caldron
Inflicting fresh wounds over oozing ulcers,
Her pleading eyes beg for answers one last time
Why rusty iron shackles get changed with new more vicious ones?
Venomous fangs of the demon of Reservation
Bites away yet another chunk of this ailing society
Leaving the burdened youth writhing with pain
Leading to ruthless self immolation of bodies, hearts and souls
Igniting hatred in innocent hearts,
Weeping Goddess tied with chains
By the insatiate hunger of power seekers
Oh! Wake up slumbering humanity
Endeavour to put an end
To the sufferings of thyself...
