Trash the hate vibes


Tracts for the Times

Trash the hate vibes
by Shujaat Mirza

As hate begets hate
And starts to circulate
We are walking dead
If we do not emasculate
The clumsy but efficient
Ghost-armies of the potentate.
That devour and feast upon
Each accusation and insinuation
That points you out as anti-national.
This voice that  we still have left
Is what they wish  to obfuscate.
You can choose to fling your hesitations
Or stay stowed  in  venal habitations.
