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
