~convoluted dark depths:: the swallowing gallows
rusted nibs
of this bloodied
pen.. breaks in that
decisive split second..
(a
ray of hope dawns
from it’s parted away
abrupt clucking splits
.. as an umbilical
home connect..
yet gotten cut off
for that lighted
chapter .. if not an
illumine.. )
..s e n t e n c e d
.
are only those
the so - system’s
scapegoats.. those
from their pleading
eyes of innocence..
breaks free..
from
the mindlessly
let loose volatility
with their only
valid currency
of distrust.. their
mushy greyness
alleys of mis-thoughts
are in morbid infests
of hallucinating junks
.. ganged up with
monkeying around
here & there.. a
curbed & wasted out
an unfreed ironic
waywardness
still forever drowned
in lushly mafia deals
.. are their deep dead
in those high peaking
burial ground pyres
.. an uneventul
ashen sky filling
up with sooty
burnt black risen
choking flights
(fallen unto the
spiralling down
quagmire gallows..
swallowing in those
countdown seconds
with ruthless drawn
cruel ropes & levers..
.. a tied up faceless
butterfly flutters it’s
wingless hung foots
to a violently silenced
.. a forced upon end)
of
their pulverised skeletals,
their ghosted amygdalae
and their already ousted
out- the One inner sacred
lamped ever.. the soul
mandala

Author's Note
just a scribble inspired by a recently seen in Netflix.. a strongly made Hindi web series .. “ Black Warrant” .. so many questions arise .. a pure conflict this invokes.. about the never ending conflict of good vs bad .. capital punishment & imprisonment of the individuals .. nexus of crime drug mafias~ police~ politics~ judiciary etc etc etc.. feels astray.. when one probes spiritually, only then I truly Hope the clarity surfaces.. these ups & downs, bads & goods … gods & demons .. loaded in each & all.. & cultivating one & defeating other is in each one’s consciousness blooms .. their coexistence or demonise dominance craves lies blood filth flesh death .. endlessly . let only the truth of love prevail❤️ & sorry fr big notes here :(

Dear Uma,
As I was out and about on the net due to heavy weathers not being able to travel and having to change some personal plans. I could not help peeking into DU, when I read this write by you I HAD to read and leave a comment. You have said it all Uma, your voice is heard through the meadow and through each void. Many, too many bleed innocent droplets and we live in a world where confessions of liars are taken for truths. This is not by means any judgement, its harsh truth.
Maybe only fools are wisest
I vouch for all the scapegoats swept under all the mats
May they never loose their strength
for each and every burden
may their souls reach ethereal eternal light
many blessings to you Uma, I might visit this place again, but am currently no posting new material

This is one unbelievable piece of writing Uma. Poignant and real. I can feel the pain and anger in this poem. Great job!

The empathy expressed here is palpable, my friend. May those of us who recognize never pretend.

This poem is a complex, intense, and deeply symbolic exploration of themes such as oppression, injustice, and the destruction of innocence.
