Salutation Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

SALUTATION


Where to leave my salutation?
Hardly any one worth to find,
Leaders have made their own
Be it in Capitalism or Communism.

Think of Rumania, Czar of Russia,
The impenetrable Cuba or China,
Perestroika, the problem is of greed
No cadre wants to heed to leaders;

They , rather compete with them,
In acquiring personal wealth, at their helm.
Where is the difference amongst soldiers?
And so-called ego-setters, looters?

To ensure future of their children,
In U.S.A., Canada or Britain,
There is nothing to look in the archive
Present is as bleak as a stone.

Future is blank, nothing is sown
By their parents, leaders and mockers,
If I may be allowed to say so-
They have hardly anywhere to go.
