Injustice-S.T.Goodhead(Nigeri)&Somdatta Mitra(India)


A COLLABORATIVE POEM WRITTEN BY SIR S.T. GOODHEAD ( NIGERIA ) & . SOMDATTA MITRA ( INDIA 🇮🇳)

TITLE : INJUSTICE

The tears are flowing like rivers of water,

The streets of our lands are littered with the pieces of injustice,

Oh, ah, the young and the old are weeping in sack cloth,

The dawn of a new day turned to a morning of mourning.

The vociferous exclaimations connote the affectation of our society,

The discriminations with a corrupt ideology suppress the sobriety.

The dark nights dismantle,

the silent dreams in a fallow to strangle.

©®Somdatta Mitra

The hopes of the poor masses are messed up with inconsiderate leaders

Every day they’re taken from frying pan to fire

No conscience to discern right from wrong

And injustice is crying from from her victims

No securities for women in the society ,

Payment is segregated under gender inequality.

Reservations of seats in education or jobs primarily,

Injustice honks for a commotion to procure harmony.

©®Somdatta Mitra

We are deprived of our rights and our freedom is as a living corpse

There is so much of domestic violence and the victims aren’t salvaged.

Many are taking the law into their hands as tool for oppression

The guilty ones live in freedom while the innocent ones lavish in jails.

In the edifice of corruption and discrimination ,

The ululation of the silent , affected souls;

dogmatised by subterfuge feel helpless.

Talents , skills , expertise , scholarly merits are framed with nails ,

That comprise fangs of ferocity and malignity.
