It’s apropos “SHE” is loud and brash,

A “run-out” in a game of cricket gives her the second name.

She blows her own trumpet and tweets nonstop,

For mass unrest & anarchy is her game,

And Bamboozle is her stock-in-trade.

By her account she is the only best,

The greatest & best of them all, she boasts.

Her skill is in division and partition though,

Too sad & tragic that “divided we will all fall”.

Despite how strong & invincible she thinks she is,

She draws her strength solely from those divisions.

Without “divisions” she would fade away,

And wouldn't at all survive another day.

Alas with some intellectual intervention,

People like her would be a rare breed.

The divisions sustaining divisive forces,

Must be avoided at any cost to fill the void.

If we’d accept & resolute we can’t do that to us,

All divisive forces & “run outs” we could defeat.

If we stop giving attention to divisive elements,

We would definitely unite humanity,

And might survive to live another century !
