HONESTY, WAR : RAJASTHANI POEMS BY BASANTI PANWAR
HONESTY
**********
Honesty
Committed suicide
But why ?
Nobody meddles his head
Over this issue
That poor thing
Had got fed up with corruption
She felt utterly isolated
Everybody cursed her
Shun her away
She was not liked by anybody
Everyone wanted to
Strangulate her neck.
She felt choked
Amidst such brutality
It became hard to survive
What else could she do
One day, accepting defeat
She hanged herself
But without her
Life of gentlemen has become
Full of hardships
They, too, have started
Committing suicide
For sake of reviving honesty.
WAR
****
War leaves behind
So many questions
Why these bomb-blasts?
Hither and thither
Why scattered all -around
Pieces of human flesh
Why innocent, speechless animals
Get entrapped and sacrificed in war
Makes heart bleed
And river of tears flow.
Why are devastated homes
Made so effortfully
Why are children left devoid of parents
Why are parents left devoid of children
What are basic needs for survival
Two times meals to satisfy hunger
Two yards of land to sleep
Every possession is left hereby only
Then, why human-beings kill other human-beings
Why wars are waged in this world
Why don't hearts of bomb-blasters shudder?
Are they devoid of conscience?
