Fall of Hegemony

Huts of kings:

In gold, silver and slivers of embellishments,

And Palaces of civil:

Swarmed by mosquito, exposing establishments;

Pawns of kids, Preened by frills:

Caged birds and ambushed People

Girded in redundant laws and Sky touching steeple,

A History of monuments

With pillars, structures, and Stupas;

And a monumental History

With skulls, and slaughters;

Both stand mutilated –

The statues and the bipeds,

Forcefully prostrated before crony bosses

Lurking in the architecture of the past,

And Unconcerned about architects of the future,

The land stands, testifying the fall of crest:

The fall of crest orchestrated by greed and stupor;

Oh, it stands testimony, it stands testimony,

Wailing about greed and stupor, pretence and hegemony

Professing love, inclusion and harmony!
