I see Bhopal in my dreams.
A city that encloses a demon.
The sky, rainbowless, still
unable to wash off the toxins.
Clicking sound of metal gates
of a Colosseal building, wreck.
Men-flesh packed tightly
around the bones, bloodless.
Hundreds of them, stitching up
the wounds on their scaly skin.
Their heads are bare, voice
a wisper and footsteps calm.
They concentrate on pain
to ward off despair and agony.
Dear brother who has suffered
twenty six eons of pain,
If the only paper you had
was the flesh on your back,
what would you have written
with the motion of your scapulae-
“Justice……………………………..”???

hello. I'm a first time visitor . i didnt enjoyed your poem much. i dont know why. may be i find it little monochromatic in terms of expressions. by the way good effort by you and friends and i enjoyed Raziman's (original). Kudos again
@ Babumon,Thanks for dropping by. Happy to know that you liked my stuff :)About 'monochromaticity', should I keep it that way or should I change my style?Raziman, heard that?
Wordsworth Said, poetry is…"Emotions recollected in tranquillity"Yes..you are also feeling that..With All best Wishes..
@netha come on No need to change your style. May be i have to work on my part to accept those kind of creations. Anyways all the best . Keep them coming…..
