Quarantined Conscience

Regimes demand hearts to quarantine their Conscience as throat-cutting trials continue for those who possess humanity, writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

Life has never been this ‘light’
As not much is left of the ‘Right’

The verdict of the Regime
Has eased further this game

‘Keep only your IDs on hand;
Conscience,
Justice
Dignity,
Liberty
Leave them at home behind’

Celebrate this serfdom!
Flatter this fiefdom!

For,
Minimalistic:
the order of the day
Mechanistic:
the book of the play
