Binu Mathew Poems

In childhood,
Father built a bronze cage,
Siblings turned it silver in teenage,
Later, spouse gifted,
...

In unison, all pledged,
Evil in the neighbourhood,
Be eliminated, while,
Neighbours echoed the same!
...

It's staunch belief, dear lad, to kill,
‘Branded' enemies, to carry out His will,
For reasons, beyond our comprehension,
As if the world in need of redemption.
...

War's a game, designed by devils born in sin,
Where the two warring factions rarely win;
But leaders who scratch each other's' back,
Gain mutual benefit and the firms that back!
...

If man's mortal and life's uncertain, why to amass wealth,
In disproportions, for distant descendants to be prodigal,
And build multi-storied mansions, when millions live in filth,
With no space to put their corporeal frame for desires, conjugal!
...

Massive rocks can't impede,
Nor fallen trees create blockage,
To the gushing flow of a love spring,
That heads to join a thirsty river!
...

Like a horse wearing blinders,
The beer-bellied tycoon headed,
Straight to the treasure-laden shrine,
Through a long narrow lane,
...

The World, in grief, hangs its head in shame,
As shameless leaders still hang out for fame,
At the plight of penniless people perishing,
On rails n roads, the death corridors, crashing!
...

The world's fine when media silent!
Cos, they can make zones, witnessing violent,
Clashes, paradise of peace, or bring,
Chaos in calm meadows with dramatic swing!
...

All objects and organs are meant for use in time,
Not for museums, to be showcased in rust and dust.
So are pleasures of flesh and blood in prime,
To feed, breed and quench thirst for love and lust!
...
