DISCOVERY
Man lives for a
century
spews out endless hatred
Revenge, death and destruction
Animals live for a short span
And kill only for survival
If
the poet seeks loneliness
From nasty and brutish world
It’s not misanthropy
It’s to de-stress from other humans
When
he finds his meditation
Disturbed by canine love
He
also discovers divine love.

Tears of
Valmiki
The First poet
Wrote tears
Of a bird killed
And cursed the hunter
Forgetting briefly
The pangs of hunger
Of the hunter
What people agree to
A poet asks, “what if.. ?”
Word is courage
Write for truth
Of
merit mangled
The thumb of Ekalavya demanded
By
a teacher who never taught him
The head of Sambuka rolled
By the Lord
For
an ancient varnashrama
dharma
Devouring justice
Today also artists are punished
For questioning the questionable
They are expected to protect
peace
Of the burial ground.
---
Silence
is..
Not partial agreement
But full concord
To perpetuate the evil
To propitiate the devil
If you talk of injustice
You are marked as an ultra
If you write of injustice
You are irresponsible
If you hurt their sentiment
You are sure to regret
If you get killed
It’s what you asked for!
