Confuse

Let’s confuse character with color
Freedom with multiparty elections
Socially just education with degrees 
Class society triumphs with progress
Religious upbringing with well being
Social networking with activisms
Facebook, Twitter with revolutions
Tax evasions with desirable charities
Charities with poverty eliminations

Let’s confuse TV channels with news 
Security Council with peaceniks
Gaddafi and Castro with terrorists
Capitalism with prosperity, progress
Occupy activists with social parasites
Polanski, DSK, Paterno with virtues
Feminist demands with hooliganism
Oscar, Pulitzer, Nobel with greatness
Queen of England with hardworking Highness
American plutocracy with vibrant democracy
And working class with abject helplessness!

– Saswat Pattanayak, Peoples’ Poet
