There was darkness at our home,
Though I could not understand
The two-word perestroika and glasnost gave some hope
maybe in a faraway fairyland - hoped the longing to be contagious
The falling of the berlin wall and the EU hope was spreading
Thought of globalisation from a human angle as a rule
It spread with that came Macdonald's, Pizzahut and many more
I wished to keep the identity through
Many thought otherwise …..
That was yesterday
The pendulum shifted right; the setting has moved back to 1900
The planet filled again with frictional explosives waiting for some mad man to light a cigar
and a spark of annihilation leads repeat July 1914
We need to find a new word for hope in the line of perestroika and glasnost in the coming time.
And a person propagating that hope for the world.
(Some random thoughts come to my mind on hearing his death )
