Migrant Politics Poem by narayana aghalaya

MIGRANT POLITICS
migrants' politics
now is no time to practice
they should remain fixed
where they are, by none enticed
to leave in lockdown, not wise

huge crowd in Bandra
demanding train to home towns
which we all wonder:
' seeds of revolt, who has sown,
when these people are our own? '

true, they have no work
get no wage and have no cash
future looks quite dark
but no need for hopes to dash
funds for their care, states awash

let us not distract
to beat Covid is main task
and we are on track
migrants build and they should bask
with pride; to leave none has asked
