A Tale Recollected

My youngest brother said to me thoughtful,

"Didi, today how could we be so forgetful,

to Rabindranath Tagore's Budir Kella?"

"Hmm, you are perhaps right

throwing light

to a way out

for the mullah."

Can't the diplomats

take tips from yesteryears?

History repeats itself

ghost in disguise!

Scenario more or less

the same old deserts.

Dummy solutions

those clever ministers;

Let Baghdad imply

the same for

reincarnated

Rajput Rana's

Phoenix.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Please do read Rabindranath Tagore's
"Budir Kella" to find  relevance: The present world situation in tune to the Indian Rajput kings and warriors of not too long past.
