The year is now Two thousand and seven It's easier far to stay alive Just keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and dive Ten thousand miles over the ocean
Pound a Country to take its people
Back to Dark Ages, Siphon out their Oil
A decade ago the poor were
Skinny and the rich plump
Now all that is reversed
Food is cheaper mass marketed
Than ever before
And bad Junk food is cheapest of them all
So the Poor are obese and the rich fat cats
Now we mind our own business, and watch the TV Complain about taxes, but pay anyway
In their dreams they stare at the family we dont love All gutted and spattered with napalm, bombs
One fool talks abt some Puppy love here Vivek Sharma comments: on Mar 2 2007 12:56PM Thought provoking, you say dina:)?
Vandana, dina, maddss: I am glad you all liked it, though mother superior's comment went over my head.

Why trajectories driven by some tension ? why not venture more boldly and bungee jump into the yet undiscovered ? Your words speak of helplessness. not just restlessness.

Dear Vivek,
A thought-provoking poem, well composed.
Cheers.
Dina.
I like the imagery lots...of a droplet chasing/following the other off a window pane, with green hills watching in a distance...
ReplyDeleteNice. :)
Why trajectories driven by some tension ? why not venture more boldly and bungee jump into the yet undiscovered ? Your words speak of helplessness. not just restlessness.
ReplyDeleteProma,
ReplyDeleteTension and gravity drive drops down the pane (the scientist in me studies drops, and therein lay inspiration for the words and the poem).
Is it always possible to jump headlong into a relationship? It is so in novels and movies but is it so in real life?
For once bitten, twice shy, it is a predicament beyond measure:) But thats another story for another day, a poem says what that moment chooses to say.
