Swines And The Rain Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

Swines And The Rain



Rain sweeps dirt from the swines
No place they find to hide
In open field aimlessly they run a little
and back again

mother hog perhaps waits somewhere
swines are in rain now
rain has got new game to play today
rain and swine and an open field

Dancing air with furious velocity
And the horizon systematically
swelling light from surroundings
swines are now with fear
getting close together
no dirt with them
bloody faces become pale

but rain stops at a phase
scenario changes
in darkness
a mother hog
searching her littles
her footsteps they know very well
a sudden dart of returning home
the swines
chasing the darkness fiercely

This comment sent by AMIT ROTHSCHILD to Pranab K, Chakraborty when its Title was 'RAIN AND SWINE'. Title of the same writing has been edited by me and it will not effect the comment I think: Swines or pigs piggybanking their pleasure of piggydaising a rain lashed day until the darkness created by the dark clouds or its dusk when they have to all go stywards.Until one day they are slayed to be served as salaamis, pork-bellies, chorizzos, hams(german-schinken) whatever we apprehend for the meat.Pigs are anecdotes and symbolic of savings in money.With pigs people mud-sling each other.Perhaps rain would have been sharing this pain to drench their muds and dirts down.Lightning or the uselessness of human self in the form of death is only to signify the essence of togetherness before being lost this way or another.But its end to life be it an animal like pig or instance or us social.Life is only until the last breath.In Germany pigs started after first world war the beer drinking story.After Germany lost to England and France in WW1-1914-1919..and german administration was destroyed, tonnes of pork bellies were US imports to Germany for its appetit but all it was affected with virus salmonella.This led to acute deaths and paralyses in Germany and the water also got contaminated.Since then the nationwide introduction of drinking beer in magnification and beer culture bingeing everytime serving alcohol chastity as also durch(german-thirst) .Rain is sometimes reminder of stories when life becomes standstill and look through its past.This poem is a notable rememberance of many such stories.

'a target consummated”.... great reflection, such analogy create two realities, one that existed in the mind and reality present in our naked eyes. A true grandeur of thinking....thank you for sharing this philosophical concept...God bless...10/10

i enjoyed reading this poetry, but phonemically poetry produced strong male sound where the theme is soft with water imagery.
