Bloodthirst
Francisco Goya This is bloodthirst. That will end only after genocide Bravado in being passive yet somehow the more aggressive force Bravado of decades Placed into the hearts Doctrined into the identity This is bloodthirst From 1971 and earlier No amount of propoganda Whether Gandhi’s exposed by Modi Or Modi’s unwittingly exposed by Modi Can end until there’s a guilt as aftermath This is bloodthirst It may have started Forever ago passing and passing as Trojans versus Greeks Or Whites versus Coloureds Until post war Germans faced guilt Where will it go after Hindu-Muslims? This is bloodthirst Godhra, Burning Train, 1857 Pahalgam leads to Sindoor Leads to something else Why would either side end? Because current military leaders learnt Something? New ways to boast bravado But what of the child with a teacher shouting grape? What of the saffron revenge or the recitals needed? It’s not collective It stems perhaps from personal frustrations...
