The Truth Behind The Garib Nagar Fire Will Never Be Known

175,636 items / 1,368,437 views

simply because mans life
inflammable is fire prone
what belongs to him
is not his own
everything burnt out
as the poor families
homeless moan and groan
god has forsaken them
the government has
forsaken them
hopeless in desolation
despair all alone
politicians who degrade
their humanity call
them outsiders
hearts of stone
Indian they are
flesh blood and bone
miserable in muted tone
will you burn your own house
a thought one cannot condone
even god is a terrorist
their fate all blown
what they reap
is not what they
had sown

Memories of a Black Friday Garib Nagar After The Fire

god the artist
created pain
with swift brush strokes
a canvas he doomed
he stained what was
going on in his mind
as a picture for posterity
he completed they
whined but never
complained
as is is where is
as painting it remained
etched as blood sweat tears
man to his cosmic fate
held captive bound enchained

rahe guzar waqt muflisi main
beet jayega anewala kal
is ag ko bhool jayega
thoda bahut compensation dekar
ek naya jhopda purane jhopde
par ban jayega yeh vote bank
ki politics hai yahan admi ke
sat sat iman bhi bik jayega
ghar ka bedi lanka dhaye
jalewe sapne toote irade
age dekhiye samne
kya kya ayega

Garib Nagar Where Tomorrow Never Comes

living on the edge
only for today
from here to
kingdom come
where scams corruption
ton he soul of
deleted depleted democracy
evil deeds are welcome
the politician gets richer
each election makes the
soul go numb because
what they really want
is votes from the dumber
those in slumber
the impoverished
needy and the dumb
slum rehabilation projects
to lne their bulider politician
pockets hastily burn the slums
offer them rs 25000 as easy
as throwaway crumbs
humanity under the politicians thumb
