The Uprise Of The Fox

Youth embraces the polyamorous

And embarrasses the singles

Those who prefer love over lust

Are looked at as odd conventionals

Compassion seems like an outcast

Between the notions made aloud

Ignorance dominates the judgement

Of the leaders those who vowed

Knowledge seems to be compromised

Between todays literate crowd

Conservative societies seem to be

The ignorant's new hideout

Between the consequences of rumours

The innocents silently bear

The voices endeavouring to protest

Become the society's Solitaire

The lustful eyes of some

prey on the charms of the other

When they knock the doors of Justice

They get due dates after another

The beauty and the fashion today

Mock the variation in skin colour

Comfort walks on high heels

While the standards get crueler

The liberty of the people

With bigotry the society renders

Caste decide occupations

And the potentials are shadowed by genders

The great uprising for betterment

Burns within our heart

But can we leave our prejudices behind

And make a reviving start?
