The Monkey God Hanuman Rises In Him Angrily Poem by Ravi Kopra

The Monkey God Hanuman Rises In Him Angrily



Who is he?
a retired bank official
an idiot who counted Indian rupee notes

Sitting behind an iron barred dark window
in some dark dingy rat infested Indian bank
in some got forsaken filthy Indian city

He writes hindi poetry in his retirement
he writes poetry comments like a sycophant
the best of his kind on an Indian infested poetry site

When someone translates his poems into English
and puts life into his stagnant poetry lines
he thanks profusely, praises the translator humbly

But when he is ignored and criticised
the monkey god Hanuman rises in him angrily
and he gathers his mugdars (head smashers) and his monkey army

To come face to face to his master Rama's enemy -
the rakshash Ravana in Sri Lanka who stole Rama wife and feels
as if his own wife is going to be violated by his critic enemy...
