Open Call Poem by Queeny Gona

Open Call



Today, those that entice the youth,
With satirical honey flavoured poisonous eloquence,
Neither nurtures the youth in need,
Nor do wish to miss their egoistic tea,

Television screen rains, young sweat & blood,
By stone pelting, lathi charge and the like Alas!
We are no better than scapegoat.
Our career, at stake!

Robust bunds and strikes: Accounted much,
For the present wretchedness,
Added Many Industries, MNCs crossed our borders,
Augmented transport charges; sky rocketing prices,

Innumerable power cuts yet shocking bills,
Broke the hip of common man
Transforming life; more miserable for poor,
Pushing our future: To slimy mire!

Hold on Oh Youth!
Fill not your appetite
With chaos and rampage
As of cold blooded murderers

For it doesn’t serve our purpose
To protest against mishaps
In a futile method:
Yet be in a pioneering way!

A call to youth to aspire to greater things, to not be dragged down by the mundane and dangers of our world. Good, solid poem, Queeny.

An `open call ` that potentially serves a purpose.. But there will be no change as the youngsters are appearing to be travelling in a derailed train that does not move any direction. Let us do our rescue operations.. Thank you Queeny for coming back.
