Competition closes in 9 hours and 33 mins. Get details and Enter.

Accused

The sky breaks in the border,

The lifeless walls are accused of partiality,

A life is being scrutinized under a  microscope.

People throng in the butcher shop,

This budget also defense ministry gets higher allocation,

ah!sleeping pills are getting cheaper.

We are flourishing indeed,

People bask in the exhibition of oppression,

Wherever you look you can hear

the snicker of intolerance and aggression.
