Surprise

It comes as no surprise -


That religion has been

Infused in a situation

That does not discriminate.


That masses are

Falling for words of

Those mongering hate.


Different news channels

Spew different things.

Agendas still remain.


The VVIPs still think

They are infallible.

Babudom is the same.


The common man

Suffers and pays the price

Of smallest indiscretions.


While the bureaucrat

The untouchable god

Holds a wedding procession.


Doctors, nurses,

Anyone following rules

Is hurled stones at.


Rules are flouted

Lives are risked

In egotistical spats.


Fear is a business

Hate is a game

It comes as no surprise

That we remain the same.


Hypocrisy still rules.

We act like fools after

Money, religion, power

Our false gods.

Refusing to look at

The bigger picture.

Disbelieving the odds.


We feed on

Self-serving biases.

The hate, the divides.

Not understanding

That the earth

It is no longer on our side.


No. It comes as no surprise.

I wish it did.
