WHEN NUDITY, VICE AND INJUSTICE ARE SERVED…..

 

WHEN NUDITY, VICE AND INJUSTICE ARE  SERVED…..

 

Alas! When NUDITY is served publicly without hesitations

Under an inexcusable and blunt excuse,

You remember, it marks the start of morality’s suffocations

And it’s about to be cut off life’s fuse!

 

Alas! When VICE is served overtly without compunctions

Under an unforgivable and blatant justification,

You remember, it marks the beginning of humanity’s crucifixion

And it’s about to alarm the backward march of societal degradations!

 

Alas! When INJUSTICE is served widely without shilly-shallying

Under an unpardonable and brazen pretext,

You remember, it marks the commencement of decency’s killing

And Time alerts, “When bale is hext, boot is next!”

Else, the Third Eye of Lord Shiva opens up to do the rest and needful

To clean the Earth up for the upright to remake it healthful and beautiful!

 

* When bale is hext, boot is next – When things come to the worst, they must soon mend.
