Borders Poem by Queeny Gona

Borders

Rating: 3.4


The so called Traders:
Ignited us with the fire of 'Divide and rule'
In those days...
Leaving the blood shed riots at the borders till date!
The selfish leaders using the same
Stirred the minds of innocent,
With the notion 'Pratyeka Telangana'
Made victims of present Chaos!
Is not this rat race for position?
If not, pay tribute to Constitution;
Upholding Unity in Diversity!

Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned with a call for Universal Brotherhood of Man. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MZANSI AND THE BALLOT BOX.

Striking. But my ignorance leaves me without full understanding of the situation there. I am sorry for that. My immediate thought is that it must be a civil unrest sort of thing - bringing oppression some how. If so then I am sorry for that too. Lovely poem...

Struggles for peace and unity are universal. I love how your mind works and feel like a brother in the struggle for a world of cooperation and love rather than competition and jockeying for position. Thank you.

Well penned against the policy of divide and rule, against those who divide people and nation for their selfish end.

A powerful and incisive write. A vivid depiction of leaders who shall not be there in their seats in the first place for they just want to divide people, in contravention with the tenets of democracy. A well thought out and conveyed write.

An insightful depiction of diverse ethnic groups pitted against each other by self leaders fuelled by putrid sludge of iniquity, nicely written with conviction. Thanks for sharing Queeny and do remain blessed.
