In A Flash

Valsa George

Altın Yaprak
As the TV screen comes alive
With news of carnage and bloodshed
Gory tales of rape and molestation
Of manhandling and suicide
By those, once thought to be idols
Politicians’ pandemonium in the parliament
Their nasty tirade and mudslinging
Delirious masses swarming around
Heroes of innumerable political factions
People of muscle and money power
Crushing the poor marginalized,
And many similar scenes of sickening magnitude,
My hands grope for the ‘remote’.
The channels swing past in lightning speed
From frenzied gyrations of lovers of celluloid
To serials lengthening into infinity
Of love betrayed, tears shed
Bonds snapped, hearts shattered
Until at last it finally settles
On the wonders of the Animal Planet
Where the beasts roam free and fearless
Where there is no greed to hoard
Where no one wears a mask
And everything ruled by nothing more than
A survival instinct!
