Revelry
REVELRY
Our settlements these days identify
With blooming darkness
Velvety petals have turned
Into prickly thorns
Patches of blood adore pathways
As on a canvas, random brushes
Of seasoned painters do
Invisibility has helped cover
Umbilical cord that nourishes
Flourishing bazaars
Which, by the way, claim
To be self-styled pillar
Of our vibrant democracy
‘Whether you do, don’t or the way vote
Has no inkling with
Your doomed prosperity’ they say,
‘Your voluptuous appetite for smoke,
Not whims of bazaar
Has rendered mill-chimneys crestfallen’
You can die of hunger, sorry!
But you won’t ever be deprived
Of revelry,
Our settlements guarantee these days!
