The Turning Point

There he runs around
With no care for the world
Shielded by false ignorance
Refusing to wake up

But then it hits him
Very close to the heart
And then he wakes up
Vengeance brimming to the top

He fights, he protests
He stands up to ask for justice
And he was also the one
Who once was indifferent to the world.

'What changed?' One may ask
After all, the problem didn't change.
When far away he ignores it
When it hits the heart, he reacts
And that was what changed.

Expansion in reference to the context:
Corruption had always been a problem and Karan, DJ, Sukhi and Aslam used to think that nothing will ever change, nor will they take the effort to fight.
When Ajay dies though, it was a personal loss that affected them, again due to the same corruption. Only this time, they protested, they fought for justice to be served for their friend.

A few people, who were not willing to take action against corruption suddenly take action, why? Ajay, who became the turning point in their life, their motivation to demand justice as the gravity of the situation hit them only when he dies...

That is what happens in real life also, unless the situation hits you real close, you remain indifferent to it and the minute it affects you, you rise up to take action.

A/N: A poem I wrote today after re watching the movie for the 4th or 5th time... Hope you all liked it! All comments and criticism accepted and appreciated!

Thank you all for reading!!!
