Anti National

by Ananya S. Guha / February 28th, 2016

Who is an anti national?
Why is this asked
when we are all masked?
National in the day
anti in the night
So what is right?
If you have a slogan
go and get the gun
then- run.
So if you are both
who will know
you can play the double game
only, remember you may be maimed
doesn’t matter
they’ll release you on a platter
this is not a tirade
we have ambiguities in this country
dark and black
sometimes even slack
I am not anti
but look everyone is so guilty.
