TRIBAL WOMAN

Tribal Woman
A dark, snivelling shape
primordial ,impish , a demographical
number in government's statistical register
melt into soggy contours,a shape without symmetry
splashing bony cheeks, fused eye balls in dark cavern.
Do they tell her days soaked in her wrinkled skin?
lurched like a starved lizard towards the hills.
She gleans through moth-eaten,dried leaves,ferns and figs,
the life-less berries to feed her rickety child
waiting for food , glued to the distant rocks.
The puny little shape(s) ,pest -stricken seeds;rusty,husky
outside the pale of refrigerated civilization gasping in their dark dens
mock at the democratic propaganda ;equality,fraternity and liberty.
In her sunken eyes , I see the hollowness of women's empowerment
and two august houses of the Parliament hung from her sagging breasts.
Academia,seminars,government's progressive plans
all seemed to be melting into a river of illusion
flooded with dry sands, soals, fossilised ferns and figs.

BRUTAL KILLING (On Killing of 20000 dolphins in Japan)

Brutal Killing.

Oh! Wonder of the bubbles
Holy pilgrims of the deep blue caverns
Sportive ,gay and bold
Dolphins of boundless blue.
You fumed and faded
Got brutally butchered
For man's insane sport.
Tiny lives in frantic fleet,
Who danced unaware of deadly jibes
and chilled death
On myriad bubbles blue
From arteries dense and deep,
Rippling, looping, red waves
Forming mysterious forms
Scribble gory tales of insanity,
Man's unspeakable rites of sportive spirit.
And rush in our palsy stricken veins
So red life in lonesome floods
Might stream to swallow up
This slothful feat.
