Anaemia

Anaemia

Who cares for her once glorious dreams Utopia is the new reality Dopamine-starved citizens gaze forlornly As blood feverishly flows out From her gaping wounds Siamese twins of hunger and anger Starving her of peace and progress In a land of high Testosterone Security gone AWOL Citizens on their own Slowly but steadily Life ebbs out Deprived of nutrients and water Homeland turned fiefdom by renegades Despising folks, they make foes Pious laughter loosens frown of frail freedom Blood-sapping East wind Turns grasslands into deserts Bruised and beaten by the day Body and soul in dread of dawn Conquer battlefields of the mind With riots of laughter This Mephistophelian theatre With broken social ligaments and Ruptured moral tendons Will one day get a transfusion of a new life Or die slowly and solemnly of Anaemia
