A Night Of Riots Poem by V P Mahur

One dark night
It was heard
There was a riot
For, the followers
Of different faiths
Could not show tolerance
And religious patience
The claim was the same
Neither of them
Wanted to adjust
Or have a trust
In other’s work and act
Both used tact
Neither heeded
And their childish obstinacy
Found no mercy
And a little spark
Like an angry dog’s bark
Became a woods fire
Leaving humanity behind
Like a horrible hound
Barked the destruction
The seed of poison
Has fastest production
Distributes
Fury, hatred, revenge
And all devilish attributes
That stays in the minds
For years and years
And for generations
It benefits our enemies
What we have learnt
From our ancient history
Just barbarism
Is not this a time
To think over
Our social crime
And uproot all
The devilish regime
