Just Spin Them Out Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Just Spin Them Out



How fair are isms;
When we see them
Tagged with vandalism
The leaders we idolize
Practise many an ism
Though under one pretext or other
Preaching, dedicated to one idealism
We are dupes sacrificing
Our self to serve the devil
And in the name of democracy
They commit all sorts of evil
We are to blame none
Other than ourselves
For we are blind in serving
Them by serving our emotions
Forgetting to exercise
Our intellect with caution
As a result them we sustain
In committing crimes into the open
It happened sometime back
In a place not much unknown
That a boy and a girl became lovers
Without taking castes into consideration
Vehemently opposed and not agreed upon
By conservative and fanatic persons
That, two different castes mingle together
Love materialised and lovers become
Man and wife for ever
At length falling prey to casteism
They were sacrificed
To keep alive the doctrine of isms
Murderers roaming scot-free
When asked came reply easy and free
Government comes and goes with our votes
And isms curled and whirled as we wish
And we spin them out
If they don’t come our way and serve our whims
Thereby masking their true designs
On the pretext of isms
Seem to be more distressing
Than other disturbances in societies………..

This story repeats again and again in Khagh Panchayats in one form or the other and yet the Government does nothing about it. I feel, that the Government should come down heavily on such menaces and with exemplary punishment set a precedent to discourage such activities. An excellent poem on the sorry state of affairs prevailing in our country.

We never exercise sufficient caution and fore thought in electing our leaders... When they commit heinous crimes and digress from the proper path, without raising our sounds of protest, we continue to be very passive until things directly affect us! So we are equally to be blamed for all the corrupt and depraved acts committed in the name of 'isms'! Powerful....thoughts, Deepak!
