System Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

A piece of land
Of gods and goddesses
‘Dev Bhumi' Vedic rituals
The culture domain
Of spiritualism.
Maintaining-
Peaceful co-existence
In total harmony
With devil and divine.
Negative aura fighting
Fighting with positive
Eve-ready
Causing mayhem
Upsetting the system.

Heading towards
Honest and sincere
Way of life
With a strong will
Where, therefore:
Hopefully taking pain
Pain of establishing
Natural justice.
Campaigning to clean
And crystal clear
The whole system.

Breaking in
The locks, walls and
Ethnic demarcations
That time brings about
A change:
Above and beyond
Expectations
Changing
The existing system.
A divine force cogently
From behind the scene
As if, controls everything.

Violence
Sleaze, deceit,
Malice and injustice
Having no place
Or licence perpetual
To stay the operation
Operation of fairness.
Where prevails
Natural justice
Over injustice and sin.

As a means, when both
Opposition and treasury
Collectively meet
And sit together
Reflecting their roles
Negative or positive
Devilish or divine
To achieve the ends
A miracle gracious due
Happens itself suo-moto.
