Adam's Bite

International culture was the word,
Windswept this Marxian thought.
Here, here to meet the parochial ends
Dumped Marx into foolish thoughts.
In this holy land of ours
Violence was an alien word,
Prejudice was a Turkish term
Paradoxical Marxian thoughts they are now.
But as the saying goes: those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
Has established and is not symbolic now.
Eve enticed Adam to take the bite,
That struck the stroke of misery right.
The tranquillity has been ostracised by the ‘bite'.
O fools! Remember the Adam's bite,
Improvise, and chase the Satan right
History otherwise will rewind.
