22: Modi

She Was at the Top of the State Department. Now She’s Ready to Talk. As Victoria Nuland steps down, she gets real about a world on fire.

Narendra Modi’s India: A decade of popularity and polarisation
Free water, housing, food: Modi's $400bn welfare bet to win Indian elections

He Is Here

That who you long for
Is here
That who you pray for
Is here
The path forward is not war
Because He is here

And yet the scriptures talk of war
The birth pangs of a new age
Seems to go through war

That is what happened
The last two times
One age ended
And another began
There was war

Despite all divine attempts
To avert war
There was war
Despite the pleadings
And concessions
And persuasions
There was war

For such is the dance of
Free will
You have to choose
You have to decide
You have to own
Your decisions

The path to peace is here
The path to a new age is a book
Out in the open
Open to debates and discussions
Votes and resolutions
And peaceful political action
And yet the world marches towards war
