Please could you tell me?: A poem 

Come celebrate with me  Come like a large spaceship  flinging flowers at the world  as also crystalline ambrosia   like snowflakes, to inspire me!  Do you believe I threw in the towel?  And should I believe I am free?   Now I don’t know what to be!  Please could you tell me?  Is there a probability to flee?  I feel I ought to climb the stairway Continue reading “Please could you tell me?: A poem “

You know sacrifice doesn’t entail forgiving of the very wicked!: A poem 

I thought I heard the songs of revelation (not despicable Saint John’s)  Their beauty is a wisdom that few people begin to be aware of  Yet, I thought I knew of them, before they’re speaking  The burning bush speaks, but first makes symbolic presentations  For the memory of the recipient should undertake to decipher the silent wisdom!  DoContinue reading “You know sacrifice doesn’t entail forgiving of the very wicked!: A poem “

Ask the birds flying in the air…: A poem 

You know those little birds,   peeking from the woodwork of the skies  Those versicoloured enigmatic Young Turks  Those Robin Hoods seeking justice  with their alleged profusion of injustices  How they began a cancel culture  to teach the vultures of culture what destiny is desirous of!?!  Mercury said: “We are the Champions, my friend!”  We’ll keep on fighting till the end!”  Is that true in untimely deaths! Continue reading “Ask the birds flying in the air…: A poem “

Mother, your sense of duty is part of my inheritance!: A poem 

Mother, if you had a choice, what name   would you give me at birth? What would it be?  While you told me how I got my name: Monte –  from Mary of the Mount; you never told me  who decided on it – you or Dad or the priest  that christened me. I was born on the 8th of  September;Continue reading “Mother, your sense of duty is part of my inheritance!: A poem “

O Bombay, would I despise you or love you?!: A poem 

I thought, I thought of never going back  to those silhouettes of chimneyed polluted air  And skyscrapers that ate up the mangroves  and streets going somewhere, only to block the drainage  with so much garbage that there is a perennial  deluge when it rains. I am trapped in the sphere  above a metropolis of 25 million, almost the  demographic sizeContinue reading “O Bombay, would I despise you or love you?!: A poem “

Tired of the crazy rock and roll, in an optionless reality?!?: A poem 

(Who wants to steal my life when I want to live a little?)  You know one can be made to feel  so alien, that one becomes a stranger  to oneself. Call it peer pressure, that one  handled so well all along(!); until an imposing  system got one’s thorax caught in wanton suffocation!  One thought that all the petalsContinue reading “Tired of the crazy rock and roll, in an optionless reality?!?: A poem “

All about natives and foreigners!: A poem 

Tell me, if those that pretended to be virtuous  were actually colliding with justice! Written history’s   sheaves are no crumpled pages, but leathered logs   in libraries of a conspired narrative. Victims being   made villains! You can see, that demons come in   disguise, like attractive gods with their flax hair, blue   eyes and alabaster complexions; that they have swords  behind their scapulas, on ships thatContinue reading “All about natives and foreigners!: A poem “

Heed! It’s getting late in the day for me, but I can get angrier!: A poem 

(I never thought you were a self-seeker Trump, but you can never get my loyalties for your perversities! And I certainly cannot stomach that selfish Anthony Albanese you may adopt for your convenience!)  Do you think my mind has hide and not membrane  that doesn’t bleed when you cut it deep by traumatising me  And my scholastically dutiful heart doesn’t palpitate, even if I amContinue reading “Heed! It’s getting late in the day for me, but I can get angrier!: A poem “

I really think I want to go from this world! Nobody has any respect for my age or for the amount of sacrifice I’ve put in! You selfish lot think only about yourselves and expect me to play to your selfish designs! I have been the epitome of bravery and willpower, even when I had no strength. How much strength can I have at my age, even when I continue to be brave! Fuck off, you all selfish, self-seeking lot. If not me, destiny will make you all pay the price of your selfishness. I’m sure about it!
