"cud" poems
Like tigers scratching over scraps, The fat cats posture and hiss Over who gets the favoured meat From the cows nervously Chewing the cud, scuffing their hooves, Pacing the green and pleasant hills, No longer fooled by the purring soothe. Each tiger takes a swipe, Claws trailing blood lines Over fatted flanks of meat Of the cows hiding In their homes, in their fields, Pacing the mud that replaced the trees, Not picked for need, instead for yield. The fat cats grow full on our flesh. I hope they choke on it. Get it while it’s fresh.

Cats in Westminster
I am the flightless pelican. I’ve found myself with my mouth full, my stomach full, and so much still on my plate. Possessed by an inhuman hunger, I will gorge upon pure potential. I will yowl on and on, without sleep. - I have sand between my toes. My shoes are glued to my feet. Keep on running ‘til the calluses come. There has to be a point where I stop to sweat, and I’ll finally get my sigh of relief. I have one ride left on my bus pass. - I have a tendency to ramble and languish in my own stench. People tend to forget this at first; lured in by the false face of a genetic fluke. They want to know the impression I left, not the procrastinator; the cud-chewing goat. - I can’t sleep being held, or if I feel someone’s breath in the still. I start to feel the urge to burrow into the quiet quilts; patchwork Promised Land. I cater to the crowd that caters to themselves, but I’m no Utilitarian. Fox and Lion. - I have cousins like brothers, and I have brothers like strangers. Stray cats with names and a copy of The Mahabharata that I stash my money in. I’m sitting on a sunny pier with my hook in the water; avoiding conflict with no bait.   - Paper cuts from the gold leaf on the edges of hymn book pages with burgundy leather covers. These guilty cuts, bleeding for what seems like hours, while we steadily forget that anyone was singing. Alone with our thoughts in the crowd.

I Am the Flightless Pelican
Ever since we met its lik i kno who u r Its lik we are locked togethr on a shelf in a little jar Ever since we hugged i feel so squeezed Were missing a kiss my lips u wud tease Ever since we held hands i never want to let go If I still held on our path wud stay aglow But now my path is dark and my feet are sore  Ever since this all started i knew tht i hav had this feeling before I dont think i can find true love any time soon If i keep trying my heart will blow up lik a balloon I cud just stay emotionally stable for a bit Bcuz if i dont in my chest there will soon be a slit I love listening to ur heavenly voice I wud listen to it all day if i had a choice

Ever Since...
If I skip a heartbeat .. I would end up dead You're tht one heartbeat I neva wanna skip. I keep waiting for you , thinking about you When the sun has painted the sky in pale tint of orange Though I'm stuck in dis time lapse... I cud skip a heartbeat for you ... Destiny conspired against us .. to separate us forever Miles and miles I have walked ...searching for you Evry thudder of my heart echoes wid your memories ...Coz I cud skip a heartbeat for you .... I loved you to the point of zenith nd the pain as well tht you gave me I hope to tranquil this pain of mine ..hence I cud skip a heartbeat for you ... I'll always be waiting for you , coz hope is the only rule tht the human race has thrived on Our destinies will collide again , once again the universe would conspire for you to be mine ... and that day again ...I promise I'll skip a heartbeat for you ....

I'LL SKIP A HEARTBEAT
A gray hippopotamus lived in a zoo At the end of the Tropical Line, Harry the Hippo lived next to the loo Right by the Northern confines. With his wide toothy smile, And his great double chin, He greeted his neighbors With a great hippo grin... Made friends with the deer, Made friends with an owl, Avoided the white scowling bear, Avoided the family of wolves, (He'd heard they liked to eat meat). Decided to friend a great, walloping moose, A challenge, his neighbor seemed rather elite. Tall and severe with a beard on his chin, He stood like a tree on his heavy brown hooves, And branches of antlers stood heavy and grim. "I see we are neighbors,"said Harry the Hippo, "Name's Harry," he said with a grin, "Since it looks like we'll be here a while, ya' know, I figure we ought to be friends!" "Bull" Moose only chewed a bit more on his cud, Burped in the gray hippo's face, Turned his wide antlers for well and for good... He spurned the whole hippo race. But Harry had patience, Had nowhere to go, So he waited a week and a month and a day For Otto the Moose to come 'round, And he did! And now the two of 'em play. Our Harry's advice to you is be nice, And after a while, it comes true.... The balkiest neighbors will have to think twice And fall into friendship with you. (0=

Harry the Hippo and Otto The Moose
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . . Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.

species massacred for grazing cows rule the world the Brazilian rainforest is now 80 million acres of open range supporting our demise one cheeseburger at a time – 6700 gallons of water is the cost of a big mac when you factor in growing grain giving cattle drinking water and processing meat peak water and peak oil mean nothing when chewing cud – more than 50% of greenhouse gases methane from bovine flatus without a single environmental group working to stop this plague instead they openly swallow government lies about carbon and the role 300 million United States citizens have in saving the world of 7 billion by driving less and recycling – I laugh uproariously at the idiocy knowing our karmic retribution can only be extinction like so many other species we’ve killed off to make room for more livestock agriculture when everyone knows at this point we can survive and thrive off a plant based diet…. I’d write more, but I am starving for a bacon double cheeseburger –

cow **** catastrophe
Four Seasons fill the measure of the year; There are four seasons in the mind of man: He has his ***** Spring, when fancy clear Takes in all beauty with an easy span: He has his Summer, when luxuriously Spring's honied cud of youthful thought he loves To ruminate, and by such dreaming high Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings He furleth close; contented so to look On mists in idleness--to let fair things Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook. He has his Winter too of pale misfeature, Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

The Human Seasons
A babbling stream, a peaceful lane These are the things that I enjoy As I walk on a summers day With a warm gentle breeze upon my face A cottage in a field, with swirling smoke A family sitting round ready to eat Rich chicken soup and freshly baked bread Then five little children all snug in their bed A flitting bird upon the nest Protecting her brood from unknown harm A cow chewing cud all gentle and calm Then sheep and one dog in one accord Oh what a beautiful land we have If we would take the time to see Instead of rushing through the day Let’s sit for a while and take it all in

A country walk
Cheeks flushed, Heart rushed, Words pushed Down our necks Force fed garbage We don't want to hear ******* flowing through our veins Like mud Chewing on bitter cud But we need it, We need to learn it - Memorise the words So white men can put us in Boxes. Tick or Cross.

The road seemed to never end. But these frnds were having fun walking together. Sweeto said, "the aroma in here is beautiful".. Rudy said, "well I think you are just overreacting" Friendo said, "Hey rudy, just stop acting rude, we are together here on the road, just live the moment.." Rudy said, "yeah yeah, it wud have been better to sit at home doing nothing than to be here". Silence there gave a sad frown which no one noticed.. Scary repeated the sentence, "uhh, all of you plz listen to me this road is really not meant for us, anything may happen there at the end, there could be ghosts or zombies or thieves, we cud get killed." Bravery said, "Dont you worry guys, Until i am there no one can ever harm my friends." Happy was happy cuz he had his dreams come true on this journey. While the Jealousy was surrounded by the smoke of restlessness, both of them together creating partly dull atmosphere.. Excity was hopping like a small girl skipping but was losing its track from the others.. But Controller had got his eyes on everyone so it didnt matter when he was around, excity wud be fine.. Confidence with stability walked in the second row to guide all the others behind.. Angry was getting red cuz he thought what is the use of thus journey when this cud have been simpler and due to this Saddy was losing hopes.. But calmy placed his hands around their necks and said everything happens for a reason.. Strategy was guiding everyone in the perfect manner.. Striding at the front was love with its sparkling aura, since it had won, cuz it was stable after being angry and then sad, before which he was excited and controlled, even before which he was brave to be a friend which taught him to keep calm when there is sadness and use strategy and confidence to fight jealousy and restlessness and be happy. But walking just beside Love was pain which said, "Dude, Let us see who wins." The wise road of Life simply smiled..

One hundred years of solitude and Marquez still couldn't shut you up, your words tear down the walls of Macondo, heckling the Buendías, poking fun at Aureliano and his golden fishes. The circular history spins to a halt, and I fold down the corner of a page, as if closing the book could save the city built on paper, on the Formica tabletop of an old café with a broken clock A few chapters back, you were chastising time, saying one day you'd crack your watch open, rearrange the gears, twirl the dials and steal back from the ticking hands that steal so much from you. On page 178, you committed abominations, spooning sugar into espresso, and declared your love for Dali because the man melted time, didn't care for anything not molded to the back of a horse. Cranberry scone finished, you ruffle the newspaper, bemoaning the stockbrokers who grow fat and complacent on the crumbs of seconds, chewing chronological cud, you called it, but you said nothing could ever pin you down, much less some cheap Timex on a nylon strap. Cast out of the fourth dimension, Marquez scribbles graves for the Buendías, in death, they've forgotten the original sin and the Colonel forges fish from the gold fastenings on his casket ad infinitum.

Rebellion – for too long the status quo, is, in our day, a predictable show. Antichrist irony, absurdity shockingly daring incongruity no longer shock the bourgeois, you know… Alone in the temple of glass with a rock, you’re out of traditional symbols to mock. Surrealists did it much better than you – and it meant a lot more in ’32. You chew your cud on the cattle-wagon overused shock-tactics (moo ! ) now draggin’ (or herding) aboard the iconoclast train (b)lowing through boxcars your bovine refrain: “to, um – make people think…” Oh Lord, how uncouth. Nihilist narcissus – tell me, what’s Truth? Must creative always be subversive? I discern, in your frenzied discursive, a dull and predictable lack of life. While you brandish that plastic butter knife I seem to note, in your constant ****** dearth of artistic ability. Must bohemian acolytes (some yawning) ever be deer in the headlights, fawning before the ironic gesture? It’s sad; the bitter is sweet but the art is bad… They circle hors d’oeuvres on opening night like moths around white wine in candlelight, cerebrating in a modernist void: contemporary aesthetes, overjoyed to know once more that life has no meaning; the planet is doomed; that kings are queening; that chic just arrived, escorting philosophy (Forgive us, Duchamp, for all this monstrosity). I long for Hudson River School sunsets Old Dutch Masters, religious art, portraits, Red, green, or black propaganda-art? NO ! The view does not merit the price of the show. I’m dada-ed to death, beyond the surreal. Conceptual gimmicks have failed to conceal your want of ability, values, and faith In the book you despise it is written: “thus saith the fool in his heart: that there is no God…” You: Postmodern Art – to the firing squad!

Bow Bow Bow!!! Here comes my brother We met when I was a kid bt when I grew up the relation between us has taken another form from a dog to my brother As both of us were growing up both behaviour changed both were not liked by anyone but nobody couldn't throw me bcoz I was born from a human body & you were treated as a neglected creature with no emotion And our solitude was never understood by anyone I could speak, but you couldn't I speaked about my  ache to you , you listened quietly & you blink your eyes that you understood But I never understood your pain Your tears I didnt knew what you wanted maybe because I m a human with less capacity of emotion & to think about only oneself Everyday of my busy schedule, when I m away from you, at times I forget about you your loneliness of which I took the responsibility & I failed to fulfil it, but you never complained & everyday you are lying like a deadbody in a solitaire Sometimes I understood , but I forgot Sometimes I played with you, the other moment I m gone But you are all alone in a single haunting room Scratching the floor to escape being aggresive towards others Bcoz nor I or anybody could see your pain & we took you as a pet servant to serve us but in return you only wanted our love, a companion and a patner Your eyes are full of depth, where nobody cares to look into it, but when I looked into your eyes I cud see your pain , which made me transform & I became compassionate towards you And in you I got my brother Whch I always wanted You gave me everything, but I couldnt give you anything And now I am leaving this place, giving my responsibilty to someone else, but your eyes said me something which couldn't be put into words, And I am afraid that I will not be able to  see you again when I am back But with a teary smile I left the place in a hope to meet you again .....
