Look behind

IF from ashes of sacrifices modern world built,

Against tyranny who stood & fate tilted;

If assumed verbatim! World’s inhabited with guileless,

Buried under own liabilities & complexes.

 

Indeed, where who rose & fell, that soil is pious,

Under shadows, world overcame as per their desires;

But stating & engraving who stated & engraved,

Are the ‘only ones’ who endured against repressive traits.

 

Why those who call others - thou fascist,

Represent (not in all instances), culprits?

Under umbra of such bullying gained,

Through whatever means! Rest, assured being shamed.

 

Unison isn’t ascertained to merely walk in herd,

Not knowing who walk beside & who’s back would turn!

Vexatious pattern, gain & escape, subjugate by calling names,

Now, Decide! Either way, there’s no way forward when tamed.
