53 Is worse than leprosy The mask you wear has made you blind Your stony, rumbling stomach has killed the hunger in you Your constantly cunning mind has rendered your brain lame Without a second thought You broke all looking glasses for those who care for nice looks And crushed all cooking pots for those who desire food You schooled and drilled and readied yourself For the most dreaded and myopic launch of Wanton destruction Of all that had no value to you And now your blindness is gone Your hunger’s returned in leaps and bounds Now nothing’s left Nothing Not even for you Sangara You are Colourful like the rainbow Bright like the morning star White like the cattle egret Though con-eaten You are Cunning like the tortoise Brave like the lion Certain as hunger 54 Though caprice-laden You are Sharp like the razor blade Swift like the swallow bird Busy like the honey bee Though poverty-stricken Truly Though destitute and poor Your hope’s strong and sheds light On sure path To eternal prosperity ...
