The Label

~ Deepak Vohra

 

Committed people

could never become

leaders of a violent crowd

 

Working class 

could never carry

the flag of a religion

 

People's Poets

could never write poetry 

in the praise of powerful people 

 

People who reason

could never lose themselves

in the web of superstitions

 

So the first person of the country 

called such people

“brain Naxals,”

and his devotees

labelled them traitors.

    The untethered and unchained present the greatest threat to power. Nicely written Deepak
