Cannibal Times
Come
I’ll eat you all
See
World has become
So much religious
(Even physics!)
And living so much expensive
You all are gods
Gods of your own world
I want to listen to your
Frustrations first
And
Wish to see
Masturbating
Before your own porno self
Go and
Sleep with the capitalists
In a city of communal riots
Class struggle
Demonstrates itself in
Class adjustments
All are violent and disturbed
In this risky
Peaceful co-existence
Democracy is
What people earn
Just as a bonded labour earns his privileges
Come
And
I’ll eat you all
I see me
In all of you
I see nothing
While I look at myself
Though I see
A lot
My mirror
These days
Scare me
I can’t keep gazing sky
Keep away that sky from me
The sky falls
On me
Cyborgs in Stone Age
The world has lost its art
History
Culture
Language
And real smile
The world has abundantly
Made sophisticated weapons
To kill and to be killed
But
Fewer medicines to save life
The world has its machines
Equipments, gadgets
For more efficiency and much effectivity
And for entertainment
The head is still there
But the world has lost its heart
‘Cyborgs’ -
Half human-Half machine
-Live in Stone Age
Where they hunt for profits
In everything
In love, in charity
Even in relationships
Emotion was stabbed to death
With Intellect-knife
Nobody is bare
Nothing uncovered
Even air and water are not transparent
Everything is covered with
Clear confusions
Fugitive
Fear of self
Is much deeper than
Fear of known enemies
We are running away from us
Shooting stars
Go away from planet
Run
Run
Run
It’s very difficult to face self
It’s hard to deny verdict of own mind
It’s easy to decieve self
But tough to escape punishment
Search of joy
Disrupts us at
All directions
A call comes
Continuously
From unseen abyss
Of self
One runs away from that call
There is no looking back
When eye opens
Everything seems to be devastated
You try to pick your belongings
But ash comes into your hand
Others are running
Everybody is running
One should run
Run away
From
Others
From self
Who’ll Bell the Cat?
Everybody is correct
Everyone justified
All is well
All intentions are pure
All are feeling
That
Life has become
Hell with complexities
Hypocrisy
And much show offs
We all know that
We wear our personalities
All around in society
We see
Masks after masks
Masks below masks
Masks above masks
I’m scared of my hidden self
I hide myself behind this mask
We are safe
We are masks
They’re just returning
From rally
Shouting slogans
It’s raining
They’re getting wet
The fascist cat is roaring like
A tiger
All are aware
All are convinced
That they’re
The ultimate prey
The question is-
Who’ll bell the cat?
