Powerless Minds

By Dr. Ujjwala Kakarla

I arrived at the end of nowhere,

And here I see only the concrete

walls, the thorny fences and the 

closed paths.

I have been all alone surrounded

by the rivals,

They all seemed violent and powerful...

carrying their weapons of political power 

and venomous strategies,

I am unaware why they want to wage a war against me, 

I am neither curious of their power nor 

succumb to their evil policies and practices...

There are hardly any weapons with me to combat,

I possess only a strong and pure mind, blank paper 

and a tiny pen to defend my rights,

but their crooked minds have become powerless, 

sickened and wounded in ceaseless wars to defeat 

the truth despite their physical power!!!
