Grist to the Mill

Everything is grist to the mill
Anything that can be
Is subverted to 
Further the cause

Everything is grist to the mill
The poor migrants on the road
Are used to ask for 
The supreme court’s help
In censoring the press

Everything is grist to the mill
A congregation at Nizamuddin
(Who is Mahbub-i-Ilahi
The beloved of God 
The saint of love)
Is used to 
Casually
Fan the communal flame

Everything is grist to the mill
The opposition is silenced
By force
By false logic
By despair:
Why keep fighting?
It doesn’t matter in
The End
