Replacement

Aug 8

Our leaders think
every day has been created
only for them
every night is in their fists
the poor may long to eat
and survive,
but they survive on the blood,
sweat and tears of the poor
by snatching time, money,
peace, harmony, everything
from the poor
in the name of
caste, creed, religion and belief,
they block the sun and its rays
for little, dark huts
ridiculing the humanity,
they remain above all penal codes,
and amass everything sitting
on the piles of bodies and wealth,
but their hunger is not satiated
they remain hungry and poor
because they don't know
how to give and share
they have no empathy
they don't have a heart,
a poetic heart...
they need to be replaced...
...
...
with poets
poets at heart
both in deeds and words...
