A Yogi danced

Breathing under water, soaking in the dust,
World at large, see and lust
Always on the fringes, smiles by my side

I saw,
Revolution he sang, revolution he saw
Sneered, jeered, his snide revered

White man on the moon,
Arab springs, India shine
Revolution finally televised?

American scripts, from art to life?

I saw,
A Yogi danced as Hussain died
Cheered, peered, lines and strokes revered
Indian myth, freedom decreed
R.I.P, the one exiled

I saw,
A Yogi danced, as bigotry survived
Revolution with equivocations,
glorified elocutions
For you televised, with pause and rewind.

  2. That was absolutely brilliant! Seriously! Maybe being overfed, over worked, underpaid and under-slept has it's benefits. Didn't know you wrote poetry. Maybe there is some mystery about you after all! :D Cheers!

  6. I ask to know the constituent elements that help pull together such thoughts in sync with the contemporary time.

    ... and why the rumor about being overworked, underpaid, underslept et al? You still sticking to the gain-some-attention-or-sympathy-however-you-can tact?

    Damn Layar ;)

  10. ... "more to you than meets the eye" ...
    was that a subtle reference to your physical boundaries outnumbering the scope of normal human vision?
    Sharing any recent pictures could probably answer that.
