LONDON RIOTS

Is it the need or greed?
Debate arose- in No 10 and beyond
The outsiders argued – it is the need
Selection between life and death
It is the survival of existence
Food, shelter and clothing
The basic of the basic needs
What is not done when life is in the brink?
Came the point straight from those
In TV, in newspapers, in radio and in every debate
As if they themselves are the sufferer
Like the saying only the wearer knows “where the shoe pinches.”
As if the victimized innocent deer
Massacred by the aggressive leopard,
The outsiders presented their story
Blaming to the insiders for all the faults.

Then came the defense from the insiders
“It is all greed- not the need”
“Need is to feed not firing and burning
Looting and killing without any purpose or aim.”
The cities looked like civil war ravaged third world
Where looters and dacoits rein the streets
Through threat, abduction and murder.
The points were genuine as the combustible scenes of destructions
and devastation were clear to be convinced.

Then came the third thought.
"Lack of moral values and social norms
And lack of appropriate education"
That top the list of all- either insiders or the outsiders.
There was pin drop silence
Pin drop silence for a while.
