PROF BADRI RAINA | Caravan Daily
When you hear so many
Smart ones address
The issue with bright
Positivist eyes on tip
Top television, you suspect
How those that own our
Time and space may be
Actually cashing in on
Clandestine cashlessness.
Even as the one-step-ahead
Dude, adept at entrails of
Androids , licks his lips,
Hoping to wipe us clean
Of home and hearth by
Pressing button or bar
We have not understood,
These are days when nothing
Is what it seems; we barter
What we have, or had, for
Catastrophic dreams.
Such is the charm of t he
Potion that a whole
Nation in jeopardy is
Inebriated to think what
Is dying is truly in motion.
And whoever says otherwise
Propagates anti-national lies.
Truth has residence now
In a single spot; such is the
Obedience that must be taught
Through oracular subterfuge,
Or you know what.
