Poetry from M.M. Yusuf
To: My Students
The Collapse is Running Away
The University system has collapsed
The earth lies sleeping
Darkness covers the students
And there are no lights save one
Wind blowing
The light overcomes
The journey starts
It continues inspite of everything
We have gone far
It is glowing with increasing brightness
The impact is heard from the sky to underground
It is terrifying
The neo-liberal world is not happy
Its changes are resisted
Opposing practices coming out
All of us very serious
Plunged in our books
Information Technology manipulated coming with new ideas
In an austere silence
Sacrifice deep
