Where have all the leaders gone?

Ariza | Hyderabad | 01 October 2011, 11:32pm

Is it just my wish
a memory of my naive heart
Sepia tinted heroes who walk out
of ancient forgotten words

Where was ever such a time
When one stepped ahead of many
Herded the flock and 
Corrected the awry

Where has he gone?
Oh! Where has he gone!

Now the hyenas roam the naked night
Bare, baying and tearing my flock
The lions are gone –they are dead
It is the time of the scavengers now.
