What is Riot?

a poem by Manu Pande

When people get distracted from their one and only religion, humanism,
this is riot.

When people let their evil rise, and neglect the word secularism,
this is riot.

When people distinguish between Kuran, Gita, blindly,
and forget about the biggest similarity
this is riot.

When people are able to make out difference between blood,
and invite a stormy flood
this is riot.

When people forget their origination,
and too the same destination
this is riot.

When people opt for the path of superiority
and neglect the word equality
this is riot.

When people have their progress as the prime goal,
and forget that the world lookes nice as whole
this is riot.

When people boldly criticize a terrorist and say,
bloody terrorist let him lay
this is riot.

Why did I said all this?

Because this can be understood by a secular Indian only,
and their’s nothing to hate,
but by now we should realize that the thing which lacks,
is the boldness in our voice while saying India the great.
