24x7

The news is wild and riveting

Rumors, lies and fear

Blows faster than the cyclone

That accompanies the Indian monsoon

Children drink this toxic rain

Fed families, communities, and lives

It quietens conscience and rattles reason

From window to window it flew

From ear to ears it resurfaces

The silence is deafening

But the truth will sprout

When tender rain skips across

A seed that is rooted with hope and life

This adoration for falsehood is a disease

Curable

But its sting troubled the soul
