Wealth
By taking myself out of
the eyes stuck in letters
the dreams filled with intelligence
and the heart soaked with the soul's sensitivity;
I spry my closed vision over
the streets of this city and the shadows lurching within it.
Some people have done their best deeds
by erecting walls unable to hide country’s vulgarity,
others have done equally good
by abandoning blocks of land here and there
amongst this crowd entangled with itself;
otherwise,
where would these many of ostrich people of
this country naked in all other forms
rush to micturate ?
I couldn't understand what did my head say;
but bent downward and started surfing
over the paper again.
Every day,
five hundred people pee
against those walls worth four hundred thousand rupees
and land blocks worth twenty million rupees each,
but, no one dare to spit in a thirty rupees book.
