Early Dec. and world
Elections in Iraq
Ballot boxes heavy with blood
Blasts in the Hempstead, England
Warm and sweet sun in New Delhi
Earthquake of Kashmir now a history
Why God choose them to suffer is a mystery
Young people I know getting gray
My Mom a god
I, still an atheist
Saint reciting Kabir's* couplet
To people wearing Black ear phones
Mountains wearing white robes
To not feel any cold
World now tastes like Pizza
As woods are boring and old
Mountains and lakes phobic of us
Life immaculate over heaps of urban waste
Flowers in the coffin of plastic
Human touch a taboo
Dreams are copyrighted
Some painted on canvas and sold
Doctors are busy committing suicide without any suicide note
Patients attending their funerals
*Kabir’s was a poet in the India who believed that love is the best religion in the world and denounced the orthodox religious teaching of Hinduism and Islam
