Infinitesimally Scaled People
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Pitter patter the surface of their planet.
Almost atomic in demeanor!
Though bulldozered many times over.
They mutilate, bleed,
Their infected flesh ooze with green.
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet,
Live their lives
Scavenging from the
Garbage Bins.
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Look upon the vaulted sky and
Pray
To be remembered!
Once in a while,
perhaps
On their national remembrance day!
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Cry real tears like us human beings!
Their offspring are reared on mother’s milk.
The floor under their feet creaks;
Unfamiliarity creeps into their existence!
So they freak and hit the streets
Living on the cardboard scraps again!
They shave and shower on the streets!
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of forgotten planet
Inject themselves with opium like
Substances!
Sometimes they trip and sometimes they expire!
