We already have poets
Who speak truth to power
In various reputed literary magazines.
We already have our politicians' children
Who know how to stay relevant in media.
We already have journalists
Who are friends with people at high places
In case they write something against them in future.
We already have newspaper editors
Who know how to beat politicians at golf.
We already have people in uniform
Who know how to change their nationality
As they return home.
We already have government employees
Who are oblivious to politics
In the first week of every month.
What we need God
(If you are still up there) is
Some handsome typical
Rich, high caste Kashmiri dictator
Who empathizes with our material zest.
Someone who understands
Our helplessness to be religious and
speaks Arabic like poetry.
