Absurd justice

Rup N. Pokharel
Sanischare

The moment the truth is
Unanimously proven fraudulent
Truthfulness fades, fails and wanes
The possessor is then, tagged miscreant
And let live in dungeons,
Pro tem, knavish brains win bliss.

Puny, becomes the pious bearer
Hope seems the blind man’s dream
Yet, he smiles, with wish, while truth is seen fading
Keeps alive the wish at brim
Prefers witnessing own effigy burning
Even if, he finds alone betwixt devilish lawyer.

Holding morsel of soil of his whence, he whispers;
“When native land and the whence is sordidly forgotten
Self-entity ruins and young ones’ life derails
All evil deeds nourished and well adorned,
A state of noxious gala prevails
Evasive ploy of the tyrant be pardoned
Finally be the prey of conspiracy astutely woven”.

From under the distant graves
In skeleton, the mighty martyrs wail
From behind the iron bar
The half-dead patriots narrate true tale
The latter breathe hope and look far
Smell truth by degrees within and feel brave.
