Poem 2: The People on Footpath

It's a poem to remind my country people (Indians) that what we are facing today is not a democracy! It's a TOTAL capitalism and the trodden are still trodden and will be the same if you people do not come ahead and save them!  


The People on Footpath 


Now darkness and calm noise do rebel 
Against the fading whispers of pauper plutocrats 
Lying under the sky sans moon to light 
Their half covered bony flesh and ugly face 
That tell the story of our glorious fight 
Once we had to vanish that line, 
The line that maligns the sight 
To see and justify, that equal is grace. 
For all, the same is eternal sunshine. 

Composed by Poet Alok Mishra
