Are
you a virgin birth as well?
Your
skin has always been smooth
Or
your hypocrisy has rendered your mind
Oblivion
of the obvious
Or
you think people are too foolish
To
realise anything
Or
your past hysteria has been too overwhelming
Expecting
from a person to forcefully express
Drilling
something so hard
It
feels evil to even think of it
I’m rolling in the game as well
I’ll keep pretending I know nothing
That’s
what you've always dreamt of, no?
Don’t
worry, I still love you
"I still love you" has an element of eloquence in it. Its lines:
ReplyDelete"Drilling something so hard, It feels evil to even think of it,
I’m rolling in the game as well, I’ll keep pretending I know nothing" very well articulate the response of the majority in the recent Indian elections.
Glad to see you come up with different contexts in the poem's otherwise explicit ranting.
DeleteI just read this poem again today, and what you said makes so much sense. The ability of pronouns to render new connotations is indeed plausible. But then, it all depends on the reader. :)
