A Gossamer of Wind Tuesday. 8.5.08 2:24 pm A gossamer of wind Floating visibly in the air The lantern flotilla Chugging in a voice Of screaming silence Along the cobblestone road Long lapsing moments Closing on the rear window Opening near to the darkness In blinding eyes Beating drums shining Throbbing sky drowning The indexing twangs Of the chugging flotilla Like a curved bow Twisting at the turning end For more opening to The gossamer of wind All along the chugging air Of the lantern flotilla In visible darkness And in screaming silence To diminish humbly in a worm Of chuckling creatures Unknowingly not knowing The hush scare of the bodyblow. Comment! (0) | Recommend! | Categories: Poetry [t] Politics of Power Monday. 8.4.08 1:50 pm That is Mao's saying! Oh, that great man who himself struggled for power to get on top of the party hierarchy! But how true it is in essence and meaning. At least I think so. Power is never so loving, it spreads scares and hatred amongst the people, specially the poor and powerless peoples. And the poor are always powerless and that is why the powerful keep dominated the poor by carefully manipulating their economical, political and cultural supremacy. So, the most powerful ones are literally the most hated ones. And that should be so stand reason. Yet power is so enticing! Nietzian man relishes power so comfortably. But will this continue in so powerful way to bind the whole human world in captivity of fear psychosis of power? Why should we boast of power? Why should we cherish the dream of gaining in as much power to become powerful to reckon with? Boasting of power is nothing but a human paranoia, a human obsession of killer instincts that is doomed to wipe out the human species from the surface of this planet. The feasibility of extinction is well nigh possible unless we get our acts together in hating power and putting paid to the chances of the boastfully powerful wisecracks of the would-be powerful obsession and paranoia. Some people always boast of powerful countries. They do not care to think of the implication of powerful countries. America and its allies are powerful countries. There is no denying of the fact. Yes, they are more powerful than the other countries. They are powerful not only in terms of accumulation of gross wealth but also by virtue of their enormous pile-up of destructive arms and ammunition in their possession. On the one hand, with their economic power they can sell and purchase the poorer countries many times more and on the other, with their military power of superiority they keep those countries at bay by creating a war psychosis among them. This is the political hegemony perpetrated by those so-called powerful countries. The concept of powerful country is actually derogatory to the ordinary people's conscience and sentiment. Why a country or some countries will be more powerful than the rest of the world? When someone is rich or some country is rich, it can be said for sure that that particular man or that particular country has sucked the blood of the poorer people. Without depriving others nobody could be rich, without taking away the sovereignty of other countries no country could be more powerful than the others. Only economic power conjoined with muscle power, not moral or ideological power, makes someone or something more powerful. When a country is economically powerful, it paves the way for its being politically powerful. And that political power enhances the power of the barrel of the gun. And the power of the barrel of the gun always aims at those who are economically poor. But first of all we should remember that economical power grows out of depriving. The deprived ones are always less powerful. The powerful countries always rob the other countries of their political and economic sovereignty by imposing their all-powerful political hegemony. So, if, like social wealth, power is divided and redistributed amongst the people, the political hegemony of power could be less harmful as power itself is. But that seems a far cry and a dystopian dream, even then we could cherish that dream to burn hope and life in our ever increasing space of pangs of existential angst, isn’t it? Will not that equation go a long a way to change the world as a better place to live in? Comment!

Had you been a butterfly of the sky Frolicking from flowers to flowers of the valley To kiss the elixir of necter in loving saliva Of your soulmate of freedom and fire Hopping like a grasshopper in jungles of grass Qunching the thirst of your blue eyes You would have been in the widening rainbows Freeing yourself from the shackles Of your enmeshed wireframe of captivity From the palatial army of the king's chosen men And uphold the cups of your milching breasts To the God's small children crying for freedom.

You are the known and the unknown You are as vast as the deep sky The sky never ends in your lenthening shadow Silence is your muffled voice of sermon Burgeoing sun is never brighter than your cosmic delight Flowers peep into your wisdom not finding your soul Wherever you go, you go in solemn disguise You sail by the day into night Ever to fit into the eternal design. Your day begins into the night Your face burns in darkness like a blessing sigh Your are the past guiding the life into tomorrow. We are the believers of mankind We follow your footsteps in thousand guises If you propel us into rhythmic cosmic soul We go behind the veil to hide our blemishes With you at heart we move along the orbital way And without you we are lost unto void of the world Without your blessings we cry at the bottomless pit We do not know how to know you Yet we look forward to your day unto night.

Darkness surrounding darkness Gathering storms on my graveyard, o my silence, Where are you born in me beleaguered world? Are you born into the silence of night Never to be born again unto the death of life? When I am salvaging my self and beings And a fleeting butterfly kisses the charm of the season You stand like a block of rock leaning against the falling sky Yet my sacred silence breaks you asunder Why are you not my silence of unspoken brotherhood? Silence, o my silence, where are you? Why are you born into my besieged territory? My forlorn hope breathes fire in a tempest of agony I shall go along the length of my desire To overcome the lassitude of my anguished pains My pains will be extinguishing the fear of freedom. O, my silence, where are you basking in your glory? My soul aches for thee in solemn whispering My soul bleeds for more rousing violence The violence will get you nowhere in my shadows If your sacred shroud is never revealed in your voice The voice that searches for discretion of worthwhileness Why then the truth of beauty cries in vain? O, my silence, beget the pristine melancholy for me Beget my shadows in sublime darkness I will kindle the lights of the thousand suns And hopes and despair will arise again from Sphinx's ashes I will beg your Promethean fire once more to extinguish And my nostalgia will breathe life unto more life to cherish. O, my silence, my silence, Why are you wrapping me in mystery of heavenly bliss? I pray to God all alone, where are you? Where will you be in my mortal diligence? Where will you be spreading your wings leaving all my passions? My passionate soul aches for thee. Comment! (0) | Recommend! | Categories: Poetry [t] |
