POLITICS OF DECEPTION

 


POLITICS OF DECEPTION

 

-       Ram Krishna Singh (India)

 

Roaring guns and flying bombs

pronounce total death on earth

 

the world withers away with

the suns of science, challenging

 

the universe and time with

cankerous creations

 

viral revolution

racial elimination

 

structures of deception

media and power traps

 

in the name of faith and past

bullying the masses, seek

 

fresh promises, renewed

enthusiasm wrapped in

 

a dream scroll mythologized

to spotlight a Trump, Modi

 

Putin or Netanyahu

tap national consciousness

 

for divine descent to make

life happen once again
