Rebel without cause

कविता, लाल रंग की नहीं होती 

न कागज 

न कलम, न स्याही 

पर खून टपकता है 

कुछ कविताओं से 

क्यूंकि 

हाथ सने थे 

खून में 

कविता लिखने वाले के। 

This poem is about poetry of hate, masquerading as poetry of protest. I have often criticised those who provoke but take no responsibility for the actions caused by their words. Poets, unfortunately, top that list, even above politicians. Because a politician is rarely taken at their word, and a poet is rarely doubted.
