Frag-men-ted   in-hu-man-e 

A poem by D Rajakumar


Not hiding, yet crawling underground

Not a home, not a game

Life lives breathing words

Of promise, of hopes.

 

Not a tunnel, and no network of roads

Nowhere to go

Creeping, striving, starving

To find a destination.

 

Not a grave, and on final rest

No tears or sigh of relief

It’s a place of rest

From the tiresome wealth.

 

Not blind, could smell the light

No colors, not black or white

Smells of fragmented memories

Lived the lost vision of past.

 

Nothing to imagine, nothing to live

In this dystopian story

Surveillance is reality

Rebellion is pure fiction

 

Nothing can hide, nothing is exposed

This is a market, anything can be sold

The bricks of the market,

Are middle man and government.

 

No more consumers, no humans left

This world of right

Could sell to the dead

Bury the conscience and lay it to rest.
