Courageous Exposure
Professor Details Sexual Assault Allegations Against Virginia Lt. Gov
Coming out with anger and rage
Showing exceptional courage
Elaborated the humiliating sexual assault
The brave college professor
Male chauvinism filled ‘Democrats’
High handed political autocrats
Tried to cover up the incident in vain
And protect their ‘political gain’
She is a shining example
Who exposed injustice with ample
Evidence that made leaders lame
And resign with regret and shame
The Immigrant Maid
For Victorina Morales – An Undocumented Immigrant Who Spent Five Years As Trump’s Housekeeper
Trying to build a wall
You will definitely fall
Because you depend upon aide –
An ordinary worker or servant maid
When you despise migrants
And abuse them by continuous rants
Think of their service and humility
Your economy’s in their humanity
Many of them may be undocumented
Working with their self respect dented
But they are the crucial lifeline
For your nation to shine
Climate Disaster
NASA and NOAA Data Show 2018 was Among Hottest Years on Record
Who is responsible for this ‘blot’
For, on record, the sun has been hot
Forcing scientists to express genuine fears
And filling peoples’ eyes with ‘warm’ tears?
Trees are replaced with factories
No room for greenery or bird sanctuaries
No control of carbon emissions
Everything in control of corporate commissions and omissions
While the rich live in air conditioners
Poor are disastrous climate ‘prisoners’
Till the system changes from its present rot
Temperatures will rise and sun continues to be hot and hot
