The Hunter and the Hunted

It appears that the life of his mind

Has slipped away from his hands ;

Incredibly trigger happy to flout the norms

And place the burden of the world on

The good and the honest.

Some complex reasons like terrible

Affliction of separation from his loved ones,

His own series of financial misadventure,

Could have generated vague fear and disquiet mind

Generating all contradictory impulses of

Distributing injustice to as many as possible

We’re tired, frustrated, but not defeated

Harassed and humiliated ,

And not yet worried.

In our own homeland , we are

Without roots, belonging no where.

In a land of wounded civilization,

He has been inflicting fresh wounds

As we have gone hunting him.

In a game of the hunter and hunted

We don’t have the power to collar him.

As a silent, subtle hunter , he has

Done the maximum mischief.

The hunted have gone to court to tame him

And yet, the hunting game is in full swing.
