Rajendra Ojha ‘Nayan’
Peace has been chasing us for centuries,
But we are always faster and smarter than peace.
Pigeon is all around from the dawn of civilization,
Yet the Hawk always enchants us.
We inhabit a dense forest shielded by manipulative peace,
And populists are here engaged as the rangers.
And to add more spice on top of it,
We unknowingly trap ourselves in the Bermuda Triangle.
Yet, being an integral part of this society,
We can’t get untouched by the poison that comes out of it.
And the struggle we are currently facing,
May evolve to the next level with the support of those rangers.
Although it’s chasing us, peace isn’t a housefly;
But we unsee it and strive to create our subset of peace,
filled with the enchantment of the Hawk!
