Do you think I’m just a piece of salami
sandwiched in the war between worlds?
Would you dare to reckon who orchestrated
every sword against sword? Every gun against gun?
Did you think all the making and breaking was
only because evil must have a verdict?
I would have you rather believe that righteousness
can be passive, but not bereft of passion
Revenge is not its action but its patience?
Are you attuned to false consciousness
in the belief that one ought to make love and not war?
What do the greenies want, or what do the Greens want?
Just a belief in climate action that can solve earth’s problems?
Would it be climactic to contest that earth goes through its own congenial climate pattern?
Do you know your solar panels and battery cells don’t degrade,
even coal and petrol does? And how much worth is racial prejudice?
Humanity is no homogenous brotherhood; you must be wont to realise!
You know that all that bigotry came from your otherworldly dimensions. It’s in your substance!
I didn’t reserve my missive to the moon. My tone was not exemplary!
I couldn’t be bothered to be draped in green and black
And I don’t think I should consider, as my sister, anyone so non-self-respecting as wearing hijab or burkha!
I am glad to inform you that I don’t think Islam is a virtue.
Should it make you backtrack and talk fishy Christianity; I am just going to keep it under curfew!
Let it be known that I am not going to settle for silver, even if you give me all the gold along with it.
I am just letting you all know that I am prone to keep all treachery’s devices on relentless hold!
