The © Muhammad Haque Political Poetry on the “arrival” of the “New Year 2013” [1]
Who,
exactly,
decides
to “celebrate”
“New Year”?
exactly,
decides
to “celebrate”
“New Year”?
What IS NEW?
The deaths of the children in the stampede in the Ivory Coast in Africa?
Deaths of the children!
Deaths of innocent children!
Deaths of the children
is NOT NEW!
Just as EVIL is NOT NEW!
Just as violation of innocence by Evil
is not new!
Just as the influence of Evil on the ones crazy with “power”
is not new!
Just as robbery of the poor by the rich is not new
Just as denial of humanity by the powerful everywhere is not new
Just as the pitying and the contempt shown to the weak and the vulnerable is not new
Just as lying by the Government is not new
Just as covering up the crimes of Ministers by the Governments is not new
Just as looting by the ‘aid groups’ of the food allegedly meant for the starving
is not new
Just as a judge delaying and in the end denying a say to the unlawfully violated is not new….
Just as the smug, sniggering showing off of opulence by the “Mayor” in the name of this City or that is not New
Just as injustice on the Delhi Gang rape bus
followed by the Delhi armed police beating up protesters, women is not new!
What, EXACTLY, is NEW in the “New Year” 2013?
