My poetry (inspired by the controversy raised at the shooting of the Indian film ‘water ‘ by director Deepa Mehta around the year 2001)
Epitaph to free thought The Devil that it is, This Free Thought— It tries to assume many forms To entice us. But we the People Are wise. Once it came as Fire— We extinguished it: Then as Earth— We buried it: Then as Water— We put poison Between hydrogen and oxygen, Never allowing it to be formed. We the People Are Wise, culture-wise. Next, if it comes as Air, To escape detection? We’ll throttle the necks That dare to breathe in! Murty S
