The executioner swanned along
the corridors that smelt of perpetual repair,
With the Cheshire cat's grin on her grim lips,
Paused a moment on the way
to cheer the bearded man's music
not knowing it was sad.
And entered where her staff were at work,
Executed the day's scrutiny,
Ordered a hand chopped off here
and a head there,
before retreating to her air-conditioned comfort zone
with job satisfaction in her religious heart.
Yup !!
ReplyDeleteWhoever said religion makes people compassionate !!
Just today read that a guy was being paralysed by virtue of Sharia law !!
I never understand justice as described by religious fanatics !!
Wasn't religion the biggest business throughout human history?
DeleteOh yes !! A very succeessful one. Prospering on peoples' insecurities and fears :)
DeleteI can't even begin to interpret. No, go even beyond; I would not even know where to begin to interpret. This is the truth, the complete truth and nothing but the truth. So, help me.

Have you ever come across an Indira Gandhi in Emergency?
DeleteI lived through one; indeed, when she lost the election in its aftermath I was at Ground Zero or near abouts, n Kanpur. But, your offering is overhead transmission for me; my bad.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Meenakshi. By the time I retire I may perfect myself as a poet, it seems. :)
