The "Gift"
Hiss!
Poppies
pursing their lips,
spewing viscous exudate
into barren brains.
Cinder
and snow,
a kaleidoscopic haze,
transfiguration's scythe, a booming myth
for dawning days.

In today's society, deception runs rampant, penetrating the minds of humankind and encouraging its transformation and subsequent demise.

Read MoreMy Creepy Culture
I come from a culture where
Sex is denied before marriage
And no one stops you after the brokerage.
To prove love, you have to make love
Produce babies and evolve into accessories.
You can't be complete without responsibilities
You can't travel or experiment
Aren't we just their liabilities?
Our books end after the final exam
There was so much to explore
Degrees have turned us into valuable employees in this capitalist store
I can not call it education but it felt more like a scam.
We aren't taught how to express ourselves here
So many emotions have been buried down there
That can't even confess.
And you know what's most scary
That no one is talking about it
Many of us have accepted their gifts
I am looking for them
Who are still fighting in shifts?

[Our similarities in culture,
felt like we were siblings or cousins,
my nativity was in the state above
and the destination in the state below;
we were divided by the state border,
yet connected to the same sea
and the transport routes
connected the dots like nothing.
My deep desire to experience
the blend of nativity and influence,
learn the language and
vibe to the regional music,
can't let my 'Konkani' pride to die easily,
and all I had wished was to
find there a shelter someday,
and feel there like home.
Panaji and Madgaon, if you're listening,
I can't wait to step on your soil.]

Imagine it's the end of the world and there are only two survivors. One is you and the other one is the one who rejected you.
Would you save the world ?

Women
There are two types of women in this world:
1. Who are slim
2. Who are chubby
Both eat a lot!

I don't believe in God, but if he really exists and he punishes me for not believing in him, he can't be a God!
Simple!

The Scattered Bones of a Metropolis
Pacing, in the ruins of a garden
In the royal blue morning
Before the stars die out
~
Only the children speak
From the moss-cradled bones
Of their mother colossus
Their harmonies
Rising and falling in the maze
~
Only their anthems toll
From once radiant castles
Their cautionary wail
In pursuit through the trees
~
I roam away
Diminished
As a new day crumbles
To their promises of firePhoto By Gonzalo Pedroviejo Gmez on Unsplash11 0

Arranged Marriages Are Fun
Why are marriages "arranged"? It's just evident out there
You get to enjoy 'legitimate' sex, you get to have some more money
Sons are taught to be dowry seekers, daughters taught to be gold diggers
And the young couples are forced to have byproducts called children
This is why Arranged Marriages are Fun coz they make you look O-so-Obedient
But truth is you cannot run away from the fact that it was just a business deal.

Tell Me
Tell me the stories of my past
The beauties of my world
The wonders of my culture
The tales of my ancestors
Sing to me the cries of the pained
The praises of the joyful
The laughter of the fortunate
The tears of the workers
I want to know it all
The ground that lay beneath their feet
The drums that flowed through their ears
The wind that sung them to sleep
I can only imagine
The aroma that pierced the air
The wails of the trees as they danced
The colors that painted the sky
I'm asking you to tell me
The dances of nature
The songs of the birds
The melody of the wind
Tell me

Culture of Peace
Inhaling the culture,
aborting the untoward
my veins, lungs renewed
by the power of the old
I am the blessings
from his stomach
I am an embellishment of me
made in his image.
though my strength fails
I improvised through faith,
thy rod and staff comfort me
lest my heart weary
know that the word made me,
carried and care for me
milked, nourishes my soul
bless, lighten my shadows
watch out for the light that pulls from darkness
calling you to light
allow not the critic in you
overtake you
I'm in love with the culture"Christ"
we are called to freedom in him
I am at peace in this culture
and "that" I wish you...

പെണ്ണാണവൾ വെറും പെണ്ണാണവൾ
കണ്ണിലുണ്ണി പോൽ കണ്ടിടാൻ ആകയില്ലേ?
നിന്റെ സ്വന്തമല്ലേ
സന്ധിബന്ധമല്ലേ
വെന്തുനീറിടാതെ ശാന്തമാക്കുകില്ലേ?
സ്വന്തമാകാം എന്റെ ബന്ധമാകാം
എന്റെ സന്ധിയും ബന്ധവും ആയിരിക്കാം
എങ്കിലും എന്റെ കീഴിൽ കഴിഞ്ഞിടാനല്ലാതെ എന്താനവൾക്കിത്ര മഹനീയത?
അമ്മയല്ലേ, ദേവിരൂപമല്ലേ, പെങ്ങളല്ലെ, പുണ്യപത്നിയല്ലേ, പുത്രിയല്ലേ, നിന്റെ ശക്തിയല്ലേ നിന്റെ തൃപ്തിയിൽ പുഞ്ചിരിക്കുന്നതില്ലേ?
ആയിരിക്കാം അവൾ അമ്മയാകാം പുത്രി, പത്നിയും ദേവിയും ആയിരിക്കാം
എങ്കിലും എന്റെ മോഹങ്ങളേക്കാളുമപ്പുറം മോഹിക്കുവാൻ അവകാശമില്ല
പെണ്ണാണവൾ വെറും പെണ്ണ് മാത്രം
ആണൊരുത്തന്റെ അടിമയായ് തീരേണ്ടവൾ
പിഴക്കപ്പെടാനും പിഴച്ചുപോവാനും പിടഞ്ഞുചാവാനും പിറന്ന പെണ്ണ്
പെണ്ണിന്റെ നോവും പിറക്കും വരേയ്ക്കും പൊതിഞ്ഞോരു ഉദരവും ഓർമകളിൽ
പിറക്കാത്തിടത്തോളമേതു പെണ്ണും നിന്റെ കണ്ണിൽ പിഴക്കേണ്ടവൾ മാത്രമാം
പെണ്ണൊരുത്തിക്കായ് പിറന്നവൻ തന്നെയിന്നൊരു പെണ്ണുടൽ കണ്ടു നീരിറപ്പൂ

Hymn to Arms
She [the bow] comes all the way up to your ear
like a woman who wishes to say something, embracing her dear friend ;
humming like a woman,
the bowstring stretched tight on the bow carries you safely across in battle.

The Echoing Call and Response
Motherly and fatherly verses
Try burrowing their roots
Through my hazy daydreams
~
Echoing down
Into a deepening chasm
Where vipers tunnel,
Seething in the dark
~
Their old roots dive
Twining around my inner world’s tyrants
Weakening the pull
Of their melancholic scream
~
On twisted roads
I find a way home
To ancestral calls
Of comfort and caution
