The mask
Beware of the Enemy
begging for mercy and forgiveness!
Even behind the Tears
in the eyes there can be enmity!
Even within the
folded hands pleading for mercy from you
There may be a whole
Army hiding to finish you off!
Said the Great Saint
Poet of Tamil Nadu - Thiruvalluvar!
How then can We trust
these enemies of the People -
Fundamentalist forces
against the Backward Classes,
The anti-SC and
anti-ST Dalits, traditional anti-Muslims,
And now the
anti-Christian intollerant fascist elements?
Just because they
have now set-aside for the time being
Their anti-People
agendas retarcted their deadly fangs
And put on a false
mask to cover and hide all their faces?
Isn't their Mask like
the folded hands begging for mercy?
Isn't that the same
false face of Godse when he raised
In prayer to pay his
last respects before he fired those
Deady shots on the
evening of the 30th January 1949
From the gun kept
hidden in his folded hands in Delhi?
