Studded with the jewels priceless,
Standing naked, she stared at me,
The stare made my feet cold,
What would the world call this hold,
A hold full of lecherousness,
Exploitation by an opportunist,
A gesture full of lust,
A womaniser’s thirst,
I thought to my self should I or should I not,
I found no reason for the negation of the idea,
The only reason was the social perception,
I’ll just strengthen their views, I thought to myself,
But she needs me and I need her too,
But I won’t stay there forever,
Oh!! You sinner Oh!! You sinner,
“I know your motives,” said she
But I eat and don’t stay at the restaurant forever?
I shit and don’t stay in the loo,
Oh! Sinner Oh!! Sinner, how dare you?
How dare you even talk of the hold so brazenly?
How dare you feel happy when you do it openly?
How dare are you not afraid of the World?
Oh! Sinner Oh! Sinner you will have to repent.
Go to the labyrinth of defamation and you may die alone,
“I now pronounce you Man and a man alone forever,” said Society.

ReplyDeleteIsn't the soul beyond the concepts of virtue and sin?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't our consciousness have nothing to do with our skin?
The poem is nice, insightful and contemporary,
The thoughts are topical and extraordinary,
