A Gagged Mind Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The lollypop in the mouth,
The comforting doll in the arm,
The concept of ‘I’ in everything,
Child, you are the vitalizing spring,
Throw away the thing that gag you to be alone,
Always you open your crocodile jaws,
To bite and chew the weak hearts quickly slow,
The movements of human in the print less brain,
Regurgitate thousands time in phantasm,
The loin cloth size apartment dwelling,
Come out to the open air to fiddle with sun,
Come out to the ever changing nature to catch the fun,
Come out and see the trees that have the blooms,
Keep the doll safe and aside, run after a butterfly,
That is very busy in collecting the golden pollen.
