YES, CAESAR'S GHOST WILL HAUNT ODISHA SOON.
Alas! An ever glowing aura around which the fate of the Western Odisha revolved,
Was brutally and barbarically extinguished by a Khaki stained Casca's revolver
Leading to a sudden, unexpected and unbearable blackout in the political sphere
That might take aeons to restore the lost lights, and revive the hopes dissolved!
Alas! The whole of the sorrow stricken State is being misled by the speech of Brutus,
While the masqued conspirators romp and revel as did Cassius, Junius and others!
Ah! A shivering shadow of gloom looms large, while the gagged media madly buzz,
While blunted blades of the lame laws in the crippled courts are hired to trudge to fuzz!
Albeit, evil powers and treachery fetched Caesar's assassins their long cherished win,
They could not resist, as the resolute Mark Antony exposed them, their wages of SIN!
Their vicious ambitions to succeed to the Throne of Rome were, at length, thrown,
As they were burnt to ashes by their angry country men, and started Augustus ' reign!
Yes, Caesar's ghost will haunt Odisha to hunt the guilty after Naba Das's assassination,
And Justice shall take its own just course, for the triumph of the Truth, in its due turn!
