Dissent Is An Offence

It is India,

I live in a society of diverse beliefs,

There is unity in diversity, dissent is an offence

An atmosphere is tried to be created,

Where every stranger is to be treated to be a thief,

Lynching,

The innocent are treated to be an offender,

No solace,

 Trust is alien, 

Love for humanity is an offence,

Hatred is given preference,

Wicked is covered with a deceptive smile,

Honesty is now words of dishonest,

I live along with betrayals,

No way out,

Where to go,

I have no wings to fly,

So with songs, I try to remove my loneliness,

 I dwell in the midst of a few trusted friends,

I have to seal my lips,

Because dissent is an offence.
