let bygones be bygones ...


a poem that was written in the run up to the last election when Mr Modi was elected, when Modi likened the Gujarat riots to puppies coming under a speeding car accidentally, when "educated", "well travelled" middle class drooled over him and brushed aside his record in Gujarat ..and said "let bygones be bygones " ...







Let bygones be bygones, oh come on, lets just move on ....
we are yuppies .. we dont care for dead puppies ..
so what if there's blood on the road .. we'll wipe'em and let our sedans fly ..

Let bygones be bygones, let a thousand lotuses bloom
so what if they bloom in marshes of blood, if that is what it takes for lotuses
we'll slaughter puppies ... to pinken our lotuses,

Let bygones be bygones, let them be, arson, rape, slaughter, charred bones,
its not here, its not us, its not now : so don't ask why, don't bother how ..
It doesn't matter dear , as long as our malls glitter, just cheer ...

Let bygones be bygones, we'll forget em soon,
we'll use the bones to brew our spirits,we'll pinken our lotuses with the blood,
We'll drink, we'll eat , we'll celebrate till we drown the memories of strewn carcasses ..

Let bygones be bygones, oh dont you worry my dear yuppie, we'll get ourselves a new puppy
we'll buy em , we'll clone em .. we'll manufacture em ..to our whims, to our fancies we'll design em
we'll make em exotic, cute, adorable, puppies that will die smilingly under our sedans, puppies that are disposable ..












A Prayer for difficult times
