Meetings
From London to Dubai
to the National Assembly,
we hold meetings,
and talk, discuss and analyse.
Excellent rhetoric,
lavish phrases,
rich costumes,
we paint perhaps, the most exquisite pictures in the world.
Portray scenes and situations,
dismal, hopeless and alarming.
Exhibit our grave concern
for the national integrity, reinstatement of judges,poverty,energy crisis....
We twist our faces,
and for once shed our paralytic indifference,
get agitated and excited,
rail and bewail...
Blame everybody except ourselves,
and then pounce upon the
long-awaited
lavish tea, snacks, sweets and....
The meeting over---
we shrug our shoulders,
shake off the unbearable burden;
twist the corners of our lips
and bear the insinuating smile.
We anticipate:
nothing can be altered.
But why?
( The answers are many,
but involve
thought-process
and
action---
and both are beyond us)
But why?
WELL, WE SHALL HOLD ANOTHER MEETING.
