    न्याय ?

    आए दिन खबर आए,
    आस में हम सभ की न्याय…!
    
    किसी दिन,
    एक छोटी लड़की—
    २.५ साल की;
    
    एक बुजुर्ग औरत किसी दिन,
    ८० साल की थी जो;
    
    
    और हमारे मुंह से निकले,
    वही शब्द;
    
    ——
    
    किसी अनजान के मुंह से वह निकले हैरानी में,
    
    मगर—
    पीड़ित जो,
    उसकी माँ-बाप के मुंह से निकले वोह,
    आह में,
    अनंत दुख में;
    
    ——
    
    बस एक ही गुहार जो आज इकट्ठा हुए—
    इकट्ठा हुए हम सभ,
    कि
    कभी मिल पायेगा,
    उसको,
    या उसके परिवार को 
    न्याय?
    
    या
    घूमते फिरेंगे कुछ दिनों में ये हैवान,
    फिर-
    किसी और के साथ ऐसा कुछ होने पर,
    उसे मौत के घाट उतार देने पर;
    
    
    मिले वही चेहरे,
    एक बार फिर किसी दूसरी रैली पर,
    एक और जान को गवा देने के बाद;
    
    हम सभ भूल जाएँगे,
    एक बार फिर से भूल जाएँगे;
    
    क्या होता है वोह शब्द,
    जिसको पाने के लिए एकत्र किए थे—
    इस सरकार से,
    इस खाखी वर्दी से;
    
    कि,
    कभी मिलेगा हमे,
    या,
    उन पीड़ितों के घर वालो को,
    

    न्याय…?

    Justice….?

    Every other day we hear the news,
    All of us seek justice—

    Someday,
    It’s a little girl
    2 and a half year old;

    Someday it’s an old woman,
    80 year old she was;


    And from our mouths you hear,
    That same word;

    ——

    From an unknown person’s mouth its spoken in a tone that’s surprising,

    But,
    From the victim’s—
    Their Mother’s and father’s mouth its heard
    In pain,
    In eternal sorrow;

    ——

    On that same painful note-
    We all have gathered here today,

    Someday we’ll be able to find her,
    and to her family,
    Justice…!

    Or,

    In a few days these animals will roam freely,
    And again,
    when this act is repeated with someone,
    And her existence is removed from
    the face of the earth;


    The same faces will meet again,
    Meet again on someone else’s rally,
    After losing yet another soul;

    We all will forget,
    In this deranged forgetfulness we will seek justice once again;

    Seeking that word or its meaning;


    To find it we have gathered here today,
    From the government,
    From these policemen;

    Can we ever find it,
    Or,
    Help their parents find…

    Justice…?

  • Voter Apathy: The Case for Casting Your Vote

    Voter Apathy: The Case for Casting Your Vote

    Do you vote in political elections?

    Hey..

    I hope you all are doing well…

    The prompt of this day sparks a real honest question to all of us,
    it just doesn’t ask us about our political stance on the type of government we favor,
    or what political beliefs we grew up with,
    cherishing them,
    even spreading them among those who come from us or are in our company…

    G0d knows,
    I’ve seen many people who don’t vote,
    just because they think that their votes don’t matter,
    and just because of that they sit home,
    or avoid making an effort that will ultimately be a changing point in their lives…

    I come from a place where elections happen after every 5 years,
    and its a bias to think,
    one is good,
    the other one is bad;

    But,
    the scale goes like this,

    All of them are bad,
    all of them either came from money,
    or they come to make money,
    no matter the path;

    If they have to cheat someone for money they’ll do it,
    if they have to remove someone from their paths they’ll do it,
    if they want to stay in power beyond their terms, they’ll do it,
    they can and will do anything to stay in power and make money,
    and more even if it means cheating their nation of money,
    that are paid by said taxpayers of which you and me are a part of…

    That’s why it’s important to choose,
    who are good even if they stem from evil,
    they must have a certain side to them,
    that makes them less evil than others,
    isn’t it….?

    Almost forgot to answer the question,
    yes,
    I do vote,
    and with all might,
    i tell everyone,
    your vote,
    the person next to you their vote,
    your old grandparents.
    even their votes matter…

    So,
    if you get a chance,
    go out,
    and vote…

    Cheers 🥂

    This is how it feels,
    choosing something that’s not necessarily for your benefit,
    but for a good that is going to come out of your peace and mind,
    but that’s the price that you pay for existing among those you consider your own…
