Of Sorrow And Euphoria Poem by narayana aghalaya

Of Sorrow And Euphoria



when the bill was passed
with thumping majority,
in dustbin was tossed
three seventy; parity
assured Kashmir's entirety

for Kashmir a boon
a fighting.chance that can.boost
economy soon
kicked out, isolation's ghost
terror no more rules the roost

it is a done deal
that welcomes Kashmiri brethren
as for them we, feel
caught in crossfire in their.dens
targets in thousands.of tens

rise of Amit Shah
who piloted the passage
attracted wahs wahs
to obituary's page
congress with impotent rage
- -
a sad story too
Sushma Swaraj is no more
nation left to rue
this stalwart, an orator
her speeches are part of lore

she managed to.greet
Lok Sabha's passing of.bill
for us that.was sweet
a heart attack left her stilled
for.few weeks she was unwell

her wonderful work
getting.nurses safely back
from Syria's murk
nation's gratitude didn't lack
she was.humanity packed

a rising young star
of heady Vajpayee days
destined to go far
but Modi's rise, in a way
her fall, a curious play

chronic health issues
ensured, exit from limelight;
she had no issues
with Modi-who was all.might
but honored her, as per.right
