WINNERS AND LOSERS

fences that history

built so sharply

they got embedded

in our psyche.

the bamboo curtains,

the iron curtains

could be dismantled,

the invisible fences

spiked onto the hearts,

like a leech they stick

feeding us images

carved out by a history

that moulded us into

losers and winners.

within this context

we live imagined or otherwise

waiting for history to turn

itself on us again and again.

winners determine the text.

"winners determine the text" So history is written even if the win was thru unallowed means - this part would remain obliterated
