Can this be True this Longing this Craving to be Free


Is Possible Necessary

Why the Longing to be Free



Am I not Already or Do




I Have guilt Pangs about the Poorest of the Poor



It is a Chimera A Hood A Shroud that Clouds the Mind


You want every one to be Free



Can it be Possible

You want Every one to be given

Equal Attention

You want

Every need to be Realised



But Why these needs

Why these wants


Is it just Economics Or





Darwins' Couplets on Survival

He missed the Plot


It is not the Survival of the Fittest



It is the Freedom

Of the Weak



But How Look Around Look

At them look at these Children

Their Small Talk


Their Chuckle as they


Stay Huddled in a Three Wheeler

On a Highway


Going

Migrating




In Search of Wages



They look so Confident of

Getting

Wages

They goWithout Food

For most

Just

For That Fortnights' Wages But

Do not get the Guilt Pangs


How do you know that they

Are Poor


We do not remember that

Poverty is a Crucible

We have Invented the Divide

Created It Eons Ago

And will Stay that Way



People will Have to Go like

Flies

Some Swatted

Some Grated



All the same

The Wealth of Nations



Are for Gasoline and the

Economy

To Walk the Trampoline and


The Juggler with all his Balls


Going up One by One



After all the Bellyful is Rarity

While Another bellyful wants more and

Gets Cos He



Knows you will Provide them


And You Know that You

Have to

Entertain

Him
