CLOSED MIND
Prof. Hazara
Singh
Closed
mind is compared to a stagnant pond
Hedged
by inhibitions latently destructive
Weeded
with notions implanted by ignorance
Resists
change, required with march of time.
Closed
mind is like a dwelling, dark and dingy
That
admits not fresh air and necessary light
Thus
accepts not that change is law of nature
Taken
pride instead in primitive ways of life.
Closed
mind is cradled by sectarian beliefs
Hence
adheres to customary taboos and rites
Objects
stubbornly to all progressive moves
Brags
often of his chequered fanatical past.
Rejects
concepts of equality and brotherhood
Brands
human beings a infidels or believers
Divides
them on the basis of birth and colour
Decries
those not accepting the imposed norms.
The
fanatics incite by edicts a closed society
For
launching their vandalic sinister crusade
Human
rights are alien to their genocide game
Foes
of mankind as well as of universal peace.
