this specimen
is more fucked than you
outside his cage
there is no crowds
no children women
or men they all
withdrew
as the next cage
has a Bollywood
Actor and an Actress
signing autographs
as you feed them
with peanuts too
the hottest couple
in the human zoo
the cage next to them
has a pack of politicians
like deers black bucks on view
they are having trouble
with the paper money
they chew all over
the cage their
destiny finally screwed
the cage after this cage
has cops bureaucrats
a few fat pan chewing babus
the cage at the other end
has religious folks wearing
saffron , green whites
even the color blue
giving sermons
dividing the world
into a testament old and new
in an open area in the zoo
with their legs chained
like white elephants
camels are the media barons
the hot shot media journalists
news photographers
a peepli live member
as they interview
Midas Amir Khan standing
a distance away
from the untouchable Ramu
so this picture was only a picture
till it became a poem
giving a fucked street blogger
his due unpublished to rue
finally the last cage has
authors poets artists
beggars whores pimps
all in one anda like
cell like cage
twiddling their thumbs
as they have nothing to do
unscripted sorrow a heady brew

the film critic is the only member free
in this zoo making fat bucks
giving stars on loan
hire purchase for every kindly
weekly review

the terrorist cage has lawyers
judges jury a system quarantined
as they have been infected
by malaria dengue typhoid jaundice
swine flu without beds dazed
lying on the floor a motley crew
from a street thought in the head
of this cosmic poet a poem grew

the cage for bloggers is under construction
as the zoo authorities are confused
whether this specie is really human
or just muslim chriistian dalit or hindu
black white colored hue barefeet
bare assed figuratively bestrewed
sartorial serendipity in 3Dglasses
seen as nude the hijras gays transgeder
she males lady boys in this zoo
they do not include
the authorities are strictly homophobic
truthful about the rest of society without
being callous or rude
