Lalit Shukla Poet ABC

But They Dont Like You Questioning

They are calling for

a collective fight against terrorism

but they don’t want you to know

hypocrisy in deciding what it is.

They are asking for

a wholehearted support for development

but they don’t like you questioning

for whom and on what cost.

They want you to believe

poverty is a state of mind

there are poor because they want to be

you will become rich if you work hard

They want you to love your nation

and die for it

without thinking whether so called nation loves you or not.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
