Raj Arumugam Poems

Dancing Man:

My right foot up
and my left hand on my head
...

lots of people
and lots and lots
of travelers, wayfarers
and activists and visionaries
...

Mike and I were best of friends
and we drank together
and walked home together
And we’d walk along the railway tracks
...

Shall we tell
dear Dr Bell
he’s actually
fallen into a well
...

There is just one word
to describe
the state of our nation:
PATHETIC
...

…in the Dogoton era, there was too much crime…too many
wanted to think for themselves…these criminals did not
subscribe to the Revealed Doctrine…just too many who wanted
to think for themselves…and our prisons and streets and homes
...

some of us
man or woman
some people
are made for family
...

says the nose to the glasses:
Get off my back!
You serve me no purpose -
you're just a burden!
...

See me, how pretty I am
just like the lady
and with me she's ready
to walk so dainty
...

Shut up!
says the room to the windows
You guys are just like
toothless mouths of the aged!
...
