“Today’s it’s five and tomorrow it’s six,
We’re riding on systems made of tricks,
Ban Ban!”
Books are banned, groups are banned, parties are banned, organisations are banned, bands are banned, protests are banned, artists are banned, writers are banned, social media is banned, the Internet is banned, marijuana is banned, alcohol is banned, ghutka is banned, smoking is banned…
Hijab is banned, meat is banned, jeans are banned, turbans are banned, abortions are banned, homosexuality is banned, text messages are banned, questions are banned, opinions are banned, free speech is banned, choice is banned, women are banned, men are banned, children are banned and life…?
Is abuse banned? Are wars banned? Is exploitation banned and violence banned?
Is it a ban of bands or a band of bans?
Are we creating a safer world or an underworld?
Can we dance the dance and ban the ban?
Howl!
