Facebook warrior. Am I?
A poet raises doubts over his function in the society.
I am a Facebook warrior.
Sorry,
but this is not an apology,
except that — people die every day
and we are all hopeless,
they said.
They said they are also Facebook warriors
like me.
I contributed some money
to some fancy-ass account asking
for donation in return
of some tax-cuttings. I said,
that would help me swap
my conscience with some peace.
Like we do in the case
of Starbucks?
It didn’t help.
I am helpless still.
My father
is a soldier in the armed forces.
Posted he is in Jammu,
at least he is not
a Facebook warrior. I want
to change people’s minds.
I am just a petty poet
and not many know it.
