हमें विकास चाहिए ,
ज्यादा कारें ज्यादा ऐश ,
और उसके लिए हमें उद्योग चाहियें ,
उद्योग के लिए खनिज चाहिए ,
खनिज के लिए बस्तर की ज़मीन चाहिए ,
और सोनी सोरी जब तक बस्तर की ज़मीन पर है
तब तक हमारा विकास संभव नहीं है !

तो हमने सोनी सोरी को पकड़ा ,
थाने में ले जाकर नंगा किया ,
और और लगा दिया करेंट ,
तडपी सोनी सोरी बुरी तरह ,
आँखें बाहर निकल आयीं ,
पूरा जिस्म अकड गया ,
मुंह से आवाज़ नहीं झाग निकले ,
और फिर सुधर गयी सोनी सोरी ,
सोनी सोरी तैयार हों गयी भारत के विकास के रस्ते में ना आने के लिए ,
मेरे देश की बहादुर पुलिस ,
हमारी पुलिस ,
हमारी सरकार ,
हमारा विकास ,
इन सब के सम्मान में हम ,
सभी सभ्य और शहरी भारतीय नागरिक ,
सोनी सोरी जैसी असभ्य आदिवासी के बारे में ,
भूल कर भी कोई बात नहीं करेंगे ,
सबको अपनी अपनी बेटियों की कसम है ,
कृपया हम में से कोई भी सोनी सोरी के बारे में बिलकुल बात न करे !
आखिर ये राष्ट्रिय विकास का गंभीर मामला है ?

सोनी सोरी की मौत के बाद ,
हम “बस्तर में नक्सलवाद को कैसे समाप्त किया जाए ?”
इस पर एक अच्छा सा लेख लिखेंगे ,
जिसमे हम बताएँगे कि कि हमारी सरकार विकास के द्वारा ,
नक्सलवाद को कैसे समाप्त कर सकती है?

चिंता मत करो इतने निर्दयी भी नहीं हैं हम ,
उस लेख में पुलिस सुधार की आवश्यकता पर भी तीन लाइनों का एक पैराग्राफ होगा!
