How can one be so much full of bile? She speaks not but spits venom Always in a state of anguish Always uttering nonsense. Even her smile is sinister Her manners supercilious An epitome of unsuppressed hatred she is And cure for her hatred is none. Just to quench her vindictive fire She wants to set the country ablaze Concerned with people she's not Never would she ever be. With no regard for civil liberties With little respect for rule of law She wants to run amuck like a maniac With her murderous gangs. She just wants to rule over the land Like an absolute monarch Pity the nation whom she wants to rule Pity the people who are toeing her perverted line.
This poem is inspired by Saba Niaz Siddiqui‘s Vultures Are Dancing Naked (allegory).

Of course, there are some people who are evil incarnate and are hell bent upon inflicting pain on the masses. Yet, there is no dearth of kind souls in the world.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, Pooja.
