An Innocent Saint?

Posted on the 21 November 2014 by M Shekhar @politicscope
[I take lift]
I work for uplift of society.
[And, so]
I appear on lift.
[For the cause]

PROLOGUE

Once upon a time,
[Days before, he was sent to jails]
In the kingdom of his own,
[With a great prefix in his name]
There was a saint.

CENTRELOGUE

One saint.
Ten Commandos.
Hundred Petrol Bombs.
Thousands of security forces.
+++
I am a Trained Engineer.
[Years ago.]
I feel an incarnate.
[Of the great social engineer]
I take pledge.
[For the cause of social engineering]
I leave job.
[A permanent Sarkari Naukri]
For the cause.
+++
[I take lift]
I work for uplift of society.
[And, so]
I appear on lift.
[For the cause]

EPILOGUE

I was taken hostage.
[And threatened too]
They might kill many innocent people.
[And might damage properties worth crores]
To save too many innocents.
[I keep quiet]
I’m innocent.
