AFTERMATH

Between the mossy and thorned pathways
shadows slant. He trumps the press and praises PM
wisdom splashed in gonzo arguments
cocks the walk.  Others too feel his sting but prefer
silence. They know the caged parrot's free
to shame seven decades of democracy groomed
differently.  They know how weak they are
to stop the burning forest's ash from reddening
now aberrations clot in the mind
await Ram's hanging before the wounded converts
count the cries, lashes and piercings

ENERGY BLOCK

Frazzled and restless
bouts of anxiety,
addiction, sleeplessness
spinal degeneration
pain in the neck and back
numbness in the legs
loss of teeth, libido,
anal bleeding, etc.

failure to stay focused
and dying desires to do
what I used to do
are not mere ageing

things get hairy, scary
with body failure
ailments pop up
spirit dries up
mind disconnects

I'm hardly centred
to clean my age's turd
on inner chakras
meditate and forget
the memories' load
and die a new being

--R.K.Singh

A Father's Complaint

For Priti by Ram Krishna Singh

How can I contain her destructive energy she conceals what she is her toxic attitude they all see as she unshapes destiny of her cornpone plots in elitist mode she lets down her own folks with mendacious fabrications brings doom to her own children who were born innocent brings shame to her husband who seeks to see them rise brings dishonour to us all who hope to see her change despite the vanity wall she raised for years she won't know what to do when her parents are dead or even we are no more she can't even weep or scream on anything she touches she may then squiggle in her fate alone in a lonely room while others may look and not care
