The Storm Magic

There is a storm that has been raging for long,
But, we choose to debate what is right/wrong.
We never acted before, now reaction is our chance?
We choose to ignore & continue our old stance!

The storm is on and that we understand.
We are at a terrible loss with no magic wand.
Even if we have a magic spell, it's worthless
Unless it's used, its magic is anyone's guess!

"Before the storm comes the calm", they say.
After the storm, is it still a sunny and calm day?
Even after we faced the storm with grace,
They are still employing their cunning ways!


Truth is still the truth even after a storm or two!
If people still support lies, they haven't any clue.
When public is blinded by what they are shown,
The truth is hidden, suppressed and bygone...

Storm doesn't last for long & goes past.
We are equipped with magical lessons that last.
All is not lost; tough battle has been fought.
Truth will win whether people like it or not!

How ready are you to face the storm of lies and fake news?

The above poem is dedicated to Rasagola and its centuries-old connection with Odisha. Many are yet to know that Rasagola is offered on the last day of the Ratha Jatra of Shree Jagannath Temple, Puri, Odisha. Enough fake and misleading news has been spread in the past, and it is shocking that lies are still being spread by news media despite #OdishaRasagola having earned the #GITag this year.
