Who should we blame?

Lying on the pavement

There is a child crying for food

He was abandoned due to poverty

But there is no one to help him

And no one feels shame

Then who should we blame?

Participating in a rally

There is a youth in his 20's

He earns for his old-aged parents

Some miscreants herald a hoax

In the stampede, he goes lame

Then who should we blame?

In his office at Janpath

There is a politician asking for bribe

Audacious enough but heedless though

That he is on a sting show

Yet he is a personality with fame

Then who should we blame?

Lying on the roadside for several days

There is a dead body

A policeman is standing near-by

Offhanded with his duty, smoking in vain

And there are no relatives in the frame

Then who should we blame?

On the border

There is a soldier fighting for his country

Day and night he escapes death

And one day he is shot

For he misses the target, his aim

Then who should we blame?

Fighting over a piece of land

Where once stood a monument

There are Hindus and Muslims

Those were politicians who stirred them up

And when there is no Gandhi to stop them

Then who should we blame?

Watching a movie

There is a lady in her 30's

Thieves burgle in the house and tie her down

Those morons loot and escape

And she is harassed on filing an FIR for claim

Then who should we blame?

Do not be numb now

Speak, share, blog

Who do you blame?
