Eating Dirt Poem by Meena Kandasamy

So intense the hatred to unmask the fashion parade of civilization to show its gravity. In truest sense humanity perhaps a global concept to make people specially the solvents to cherish the broadness of mind refusing the reality of thousands and thousands suffered existence burning with fire of thwarted futility. Exposed variations are unique. Thanks for posting.

One of the best poems by Meena Kandasamy....................

There's a reference in the last stanza to the incident of Yashodha tying little Krishna to a millstone for eating mud..Krishna was a divine child..so it was possible for Yashodha to see the three worlds in His mouth...but...here whom are you really talking about..I can't get it....of course a thought provoking poem

A powerful write of life's plights?

Congratulations Meena Kandasamy

lovely; but SHE should have been tied too, or instead.

A tongue in the third person so speaks as three worlds roll off the cloudy mouth, congratzs for poem of the day
