Poem: Post-Kargil

  When aged Satyrs Lead   Those young, Raging men Like goats To slaughter In a Dionysian orgy Of self-gratification   Then there is no more honour;   Sometimes, The line between Martyrdom And Suicide Is as delicate As the ego of some Tin-pot General.  ----- ------ -------- ------- --------- --------  * From Riverbeds Flowing 1999
