I call
myself a poet,
I paint a
picture through my words,
But lies my
pen now comatose,
Can’t get
what is wrong with world,
It wants to
scribble agony,
It tries to
vent out anger in me,
It cries and
tries to write a word,
But ends up
drawing geometry.
My pen just
wails, hopeless and hurt,
But today its
tears just flow away,
Leave the
paper blank like the,
Hearts of monsters,
who tried to pay,
Who tried to
buy the silence of,
The dad
whose girl is fighting death,
My pen just
wants to draw a noose,
A noose to stop those khaki breaths,
My pen says
it knows the fate,
Of the barbarian
who sinned and fled,
He will one
day be buried in hell,
But what of
those who quietly slept?
Is suspension
justice enough?
Should they
not be hanging too?
They who
slept as angel cried,
Trapped in
hell, as their tummies grew?
My pen tells
me I am a fool,
Drop me,
pick the sword and strike,
This system
will always sleep,
No words can
challenge Satan’s might,
Pick the
sword and challenge law,
For law is
just the power’s keep,
My pen lays
restless through the night,
As khaki
monsters go to sleep.
Compelling! This poem aroused anger, pity and a desire for retribution. Don't lose hope. Some day there will be an end to all of this injustice.
ReplyDeleteVery touching! while we are restless these monsters peacefully go to sleep without a guilt...
ReplyDeleteA very well written poem!
But anything thats wrong does not last forever, may be longer but not forever, and raising the issue in itself is a challenge to these satans and monsters!
Extremely well written poem. It aptly describes the angst and the pain that every 'thinking' Indian went through at that time.
ReplyDeletePen is certainly mightier than sword. It's just that it should be used rightly and timely. Your words were perfect and the emotions stirred once again.
I hope you continue to write with such passion and on subjects that touch you the most. The feelings radiate to readers as strikingly as they should.
Keep it Up :)
