On an evening dance show I wasted a ciggerate on thoughts The light shimmered on the ball, The music was new, all the songs were turned into stew A soup of melody and a constant beat Trembling the floor and the ceiling~ I gazed upon the upcoming crowd "A beer" They crooned. The ancient smell of ***** and liquor gassed up the entire floor. The ciggerate, it burned too loud, and the poet was not allowed, Saddned by the echoes of silence in a room full of noise, I left the premise with nothing but nicotine stains and words without sentences. ~ The ladies, cursed by design The men, manipulating the minds The children, running to hide. Where are the people who once promised a dinner? Where are the shackles of chains that were Left unattended to the working class? - I saw him throw the trash at the river that sprung from a feet of a cow. Vrishabhavathi, she cries. A symphony of dead plastics and living garbages. Decorated by the lush pink trees With the smell of rotting cabbages. - Did they bring more people to build a holy land? Did they fight communists holding flowers in their hands? Were there people overlooking the waters filled with foam? The forests filled with food packets and rotting homes - If a tree fell in a forest. Would you **** me? This way?
