IT BLED
-
Bina
(India)
it bled
through paper
a haemorrhage
of words
bold red
in its cry of rage
at the heartless
calculations
designed to trap
people in
a web of conspiracies
that have choked
lives in windowless
chambers of
helplessness.
Dalits are doomed
minorities damned
lies are marketed
in our leaders'
scams.
religion is sacred
humans are not
god is a tool
for hate to plot.
it bled
through paper
the poets
words
and leaders
laughed
as they drank
the blood.
