when women become men
pelting stones on the streets
the heart burns the heart beats
when children pelt stones
at a system when humanity
bleeds it is not a speech
but a healing touch
the human heart needs
so when somebody hurls
a single shoe at apathy
unfeeling blasphemy
survival is the name
of a political greed
rampant corruption
excessive force
some misdeed
standing tall
in a karakul cap
without humility
with blood
flowing
beneath the feet
be human
to the heartless leader
the human heart
pleads
hurling
a single shoe
was not enough
to wake him
from his blundering
plundering
stupor
a second hand
shoe shop
from mumbai
offers more
shoes indeed
meri jan
to add to a single shoe
over the head
like a bouncer
as it journeyed
as a message
of peace you
must read
godspeed
nobody
wants their
innocent
children
to be
prematurely
buried
