Audience decry

in times now

We the people;

have goose bumps,

as you play devil's advocate

in the big fight between

state and people;

Some hard talk,

is all; what you assume

audience find adequate;

and as the verdict unfolds,

we see you grappal

with drama and conflict;

staging a trial

for one amongst us

who dared to be the convict.

bringing; your side of the story;

in your language; through

your lens; enacting public debate.

We see your zest

and the swell of your chest

at each smart line that

market-media-state define

but, as the plot thickens

you sign off;

blurring the might of the ethics

with ethics of the might;

and,we wonder if

you would, for once, allow us

to sing our very own song; titled,

'why did you think,

Nandigram was the experiment that went wrong?'
