Six hours of circus-
As usual the politician inaugurated it
And slept throughout the show
To wake up in the last hour
To proclaim
In words impeccable and rehashed
The situation is under control
The guilty will not go scot free
And the victims will be compensated
The trapeze men thought they were
Fighting a just cause
Going up and down without a safety net
So thought the green and yellow foot soldiers
Going up and down and down
Three dozen died
A few heads rolled
(Do we know their names?)
Some cried and
Some cried foul.
Far away
In another planet
Faces lit up
‘It was a great show’
They chuckled
And took a break.
(Disclaimer: The post is not related to the faux pass of the Haryana Government in the aftermath of the arrest of Baba Ram Rahim. Scores of people died accompanied by destruction of property as the government agencies were a mute witness to the bizarre reaction of the followers of the Spiritual Guru who epitomized love and peace)
PEBBLES AND WAVES 
A poem that captures the chaos to the last atom. It is the existence of that ‘another planet’ that is the most disturbing piece of the calamity.
