Will it be a new beginning or and an ending: On Farmer's agitation

At long last the farmers could assemble
Mustering strength ,rolled up the gate and shouted
 To echo beyond the walls separating between
The people and the government.
People mills around the streets in important cities
But it was the capital city and the neighborhood
Which got frightend but pretended to ignore to
Redress their grievancs in a pandemic situation.
Under rain and sun they had protested
And many have lost their lives andnothing moved
The insensitive and irresponsible government?
. For the last  six month's the farmers have been on the roads in a state of protest and the State
Has remained passive spectator and indifferent actor.
They have been not fooled by empty slogans of doubling
Farmer's income and the merits of  corportization
Of agriculture.

Many rounds of talks, no reasoned response
When the crowd got increasingly restless and 
Frustratingly irritated,
A slect Few farmers  with all pain in their hearts
Deployed sense of humour
Swapping jokes about the clownish rulers and their
Inadequacy in governance.
In the face of arrogance and indifference
Farmer's spirit only went up and they got the support
From all over the globe

For nearly  six years  the country has been on the edge
Of chaos and lack of proper direction in steering th economy and of late in not forseeing the second wave of corana .
Pandemic situation was exploited for throttling democracy
And stoking the fire of hatred and channeling energy in fighting elections by manipulating the opposition..

Well informed, the affected and those afflicted with health issues, the artists and scientists, the elite and the good 
 See the true colours and make lies that envelop the all frame ,now bearded to look like Tagore?

The donkey has appeared as horse for  a  while 
And the vested interests and well crafted propaganda
Machine backed it up  .
Everyone feels the chaos the haeavy price that the country
Has paid for past few years , the lost years in terms of 
Life, livelihood ,death and destruction of informal economy
And small and medium industries....
Will there be a new beginning or is it the end of 
Our freedom and democracy?
Will there be any benovolent intervention from nature 
To collar the culprits and the corrupt criminals sweeping
Across the country enjoying free ride
