DESPITE BEING INVISIVBLE<br />

Just as<br />

The directions <strong>of</strong> our forefathers<br />

Resonate as murmuring whispers<br />

Even after they have long passed away<br />

Lost, in the depths <strong>of</strong> time<br />

And which,<br />

Many a time, as little tear drops<br />

Seep into our slumber.<br />

So also<br />

Some poets<br />

Who even after having dissolved their beings,<br />

On a funeral pyre<br />

Or<br />

Lying in repose entombed<br />

Keep hovering over us like warning signals<br />

Through their immortal verse<br />

So much lies ’tween the words<br />

That , besides<br />

The grinding <strong>of</strong> the earth<br />

Are also heard warning bells.<br />

Perpetually warning us<br />

Against<br />

Hordes <strong>of</strong> evil-doers, the hideous killers-<br />

Sheltering behind charitable donations<br />

Distributing alms.<br />

These,<br />

Relentlessly keep sounding warning bells<br />

About dangers lurking<br />

Warnings,<br />

That electrocute our speech!<br />
