A phenomenon creeped in centuries before,
But reaching on its peak nowadays.
Started by some felons,
& suffered by all.
In spite of secular & religious tolerant constitution.
Changing mindset, polluting brains,
Converting tolerance patience peace & harmony,
To pessimism censure impulsion & mercilessness.
Hooliganism on its peak,
Affecting nation, lynching (minorities)commanised,
Ending up evaluating high insecurity & extreme fear.
Unstable economy, unjust distribution of resources & geopolitical reason,
Turns common-man insecure,
Ending up identifying a common enemy outside.
Certainly! used by hate mongering politicians,
For building political career by adopting dive & rule & vote-bank policies.
Political campaign encouraged,
Tactics of promoting religious hatred.
Claiming votes on ethnic religious affiliations.
Hate speech commanised,
Breaking law fearlessly, keeping officials by their side.
Media plays vital role,
Pointing negativity in shadow of news debates,
Affecting perspectives of common-man 'creature of habit'.
In spite encouraging positivity,
& protesting against norms with diligence.
Outlook changed in day to day life,
Promoting religious identity in spite of nationality.
Hampering minority's position,
In job sectors, competition, career persuasion or daily affair.
Ending up having sights full of envy hate & grudge for each-other.
If realised sincerely,
Mea culpa! But we are the biggest jerks.
Not just now, but from centuries before,
Acting puppets of handful of bloody opulent being.
Hopeless, disgusting WE.
