Political poem: Dystopia

                                                         Dystopia 

You have made me shut up whenever i am trying to raise my voice.
I am standing still, wanting peace, but you want war all the time.
You want to leave a mark in history I want to leave a mark in people's hearts.
On Republic day you wave the flag of lies, and make promises which are meant to be broken.
Now cows have committed grievous crimes.
Dalits flapping their wings in vain to fly with freedom yet, everyone is cloud blind.
From children to old ones, tell me who is safe in this world. Your answer would be No one!
We believe, we live in a democracy,but reality is a far cry from it.

    Hey Tanya, I liked your this poem. You have very well developed the real scenes in a politically sensitive tit bits with the words like lies, flag, freedom etc. But at the same you could also stretch a bit more this same images or the words and perhaps see into the general sense of ''politics" rather than telling something exact. Whatever and however you feel like but it was nice reading it.

Ghazal: Rubina

Sunne mein aaya ke aaj dil bahot tender hai Happy Valentine's Day, kehta calender hai Bachpan se puchti rahi main,"Hey ma Iss dream girl ka kahan Dharmendra hai? Bar bar mein dekha par mila na koi aashiq Bhale hi no bar age, caste aur gender hai Wine pi le par ab aur whine mat kar yaar Kehta mera ek lauta bf(f) bartender hai  Koi raahat nahi ab Carpal Tunnel se Sahara mila bas vibrator aur tinder hai Interest banana padega a-loan rehne mein Kismet bhi toh khadoos money-lender hai Ab chod bhi de Rubina, kab tak naseeb kosegi Shayad tujhe hi mohabbat karne mein darr hai
