Wild Nature

Th Shaktigandhi Singh
They know only smelling, kissing, and hugging;
Apart from that, they know nothing.
They beg their people to give them the
‘Chance’ to kiss and hug what they desire
To assure the people, each of them with
Artificial sober looks will speak kindly
And swear several times saying,
“If I can …. I will do protect you all from
‘Anything’ that might harm you”.
After they can, they, immediately, start
Kissing their seats passionately,
As if they are their newlywed partners,
Caressing and hugging them, gently and tightly.
When will their smelling, kissing and hugging last?
Or how long will they smell, kiss and hug?
That’s the question……
Yes, they are given a tenure of five years
To kiss and hug what they want.
For five years, every day, every hour, every minute,
Every second, they will kiss….
They love kissing so much… why?
Once they get the ‘Chance’, they don’t see:
The coming of cyclone, flood, storm,
Insecurity, war, and anything perilous into their land.

While clinging to power, they fear no one
And nothing!
But one thing they fear most,
That is, parting them from their savage impulses.
Smelling, kissing, and hugging---
These are their everyday activities.
Land encroaching, wearing the mask of the indigenous,
And planting new people ---
These are enemies’ daily routine.
They have their only one purpose,
That’s smelling, kissing and hugging!
Their lives… full of scents, kisses and hugs
And their people… full of hue and cry,
Wails, and agony.
As their land, and homes grow
Smaller and smaller day by day,
They keep on smelling with a smile,
But their people can’t detect any scent
