What do they want?
Melancholy, dismay, silence
distressed dejected faces.
As icy winds blowing
shivering humans
freeze with the snow.
They celebrate
when mentally waged wars
fought in minds and hearts
turn reclusive
freezing in thought.
They want gullible folks
content with faith in them
speak the language they dictate.
They celebrate
when frozen minds turn stony,
just like a freezing snowstorm
mind numbs to minus hundred degrees.
Then one day,
they will come,
with words of warmth
and without a whiff of steam even
the mind will melt.
They will then gloat
over having snapped unity
like the mulberry branch.
It is then that out of fear
they will implement
laws like Section 144,
so that disintegrated shards
they divided unity into
may not once again unite.
