Waters muddy
The already deep and murky waters
Where the mud and sand of differences
Had settled down
Over a long time of peace
The ever widening knowledge’s rays
Could almost reach the bottom
Where wisdom and prosperity thrived
Touching everyone’s life
But then ideal situations can’t last long
By definition they should not be existing
At least in a practical realm
There had to be someone
Or many of them
Who’s hunger grows beyond
What the system can provide
And they shake the water
Agitate it
With earthquakes and tsunamis
Of religions and ideologies
And if nothing else
Then fabricated grievances and resentment
Largely unjustified
Turning the waters dark
With rising mud and sand
Ejected by the the disturbed calm
Of relative peace.

Muddying the waters to pursue their agendas. The ordinary people are the tools in the hands of those with power
And those want to gain power.
Ordinary people have to realise what their needs are. And avoid falling prey to false dreams and manufactured grievances.
Very right. I hope our general populace acquires the sense of discrimination between truth and lies
