Wooly Python Poem by Prabir Gayen

-Wooly python - -

Red blood cell dropping
on half bloomed buds
and breathless is the air,
Overcharged inebriated
goons, squad
Overcast skies of Bengal
political emptiness.
Inhumane symbol of
ruthless musk,
turtle of silent rotten heart,
in charge of killing innocent mob,
lover of peace and quiet time
of soliciting stable Governor.
Heartless, shallow idol of lust
in every drunken beast
of state sponsoredsubject.
Corruption reigns supreme
in beastly led dogged rule
chewing empty bone and marrow
sucking blood from the wound.

Fie fie!theconscience of bengal,
the educated bull of arts and crafts
to support the bankrupt hearts
of lustful thoughts political vulture.
Rotten is the wand of democracy,
A farce on the hand of power and doom of innocent flowers.
Bloodshed and inhuman show
of power is the coward's art.
Cunning jackal of power webs
it's own path of irritating end
and the strength of united hearts
must torch the peaceful heaven.
Wisdom inspired by the law of heart
and conscience -stricken commitment
with broaden view of belongingness and sense of equality must be dawn to drive Pestilence with pride.
Communismwith open hearted approach
to life and the eagle's view
of the need of the new millennium
are thesilver line of humanity.
For a new birth of equanimity
and fraternity above the terror -hit sky of Bengal,
A new idealism with mutual value
must shine through black cloud of
self centered dustof wooly python.
