[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki –
Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]
Villains
(Dedicated to true Democracy where society
only evolves forward - Kolki)
Though its passion which inspires people to lead
and serve
Makes someone renowned for years to come!
Every now and then a few rise to take us back
In the days of feudal lords now legalized!
Spread the message of greed to enrich the rich
Who in turn fund them to ensure people’s defeat!
Lacking world vision and caring compassion
They proudly act as villains dividing people and nations!
Retreat from global treaties towards peaceful grace
Increase military spending to provoke arms race!
Disrespect international court and open justice
Run a democracy with military control secretive!
Treat earth as a chest of resources infinite
Pass bills to log and mine with alien appetite!
Encourage violence for hegemonic adventures
Ignore established economic, social, scientific
literatures!
Mire a nation with deficits, debts, and hatred
While a few clap and praise as they celebrate!
Out-Source government to private fortresses
Terrorize communities imposing new fees for services!
Manipulate media with doctored opinion poll gains
Strengthen grip on power rewarding other villains!
Need wars to make others pay incurred national debt
Evolve backward inflicting irreversible global damage!
