Indo-Pak Perfidy

 

 

India’s and Pakistan’s

gargantuan gargoylish armies

sadden, anger and madden

me;

 

Two monsterish machines

setting men, women, children

of the same biradari

as chilling enemies;

 

Two armies of two

illegitimate anglophile creations

conceived by politicians

in a hurry…

 

Politicians aided, prompted, goaded

by a viceroy and cartographer

for whom nations, religions,

cultures and human emotions

 

Were but a few ill-notioned

ill-intentioned lines on a

surveyor’s quadrant!
