Drowned

Country is dominated today
by strong right wing views
and retaliation by those at the other end
with extreme views of their own.... policy is
totally disagree with what the other articulates

The real need is saner, sober, balanced voices
which sadly get drowned in the din
generated by those who insist on ' black' or 'white'
with no place for the grey
for them it is simply " either you are with them
or with us, decide quickly, you cat on the wall..."

  1. I guess it is time for each of us to decide which narrative we have been fed and which narrative we want to go with

    1. Thank you for sharing your thought Sujatha. This poem calls attention to the fact that there could be a third or fourth narrative that is stifled and shouted down by the two narratives.
