Where is the Pa(Lo)st Bond?
Once best buddies, Sharing the greatness of their religions With each other, Amalgamating the two for a hybrid Din-il-lahi; The syncretic spirits that rose into rage When the crafty viceroy plotted For a crack in the Bengal presidency Have become dormant When the fissures were to occur In the great old civilisational center. What to call it? The reason 1. Personal 2. Fanaticism 3. Mark Antony mode of sedition.... O the third? Yes!!! Alas! The four cows are we? Fell prey to the lion Listening to the words of a sly fox. Once cousins and pals Casting explosives for vanquishing And the other shooting to defend not him But the country as his family, Losing his valuable life to guard the 'lives' of his countrymen.
