being gifted
i tried
to read the future
of all three
one had become
a builder
the second
was an actor
the third was
a politician
through
the third eye
of my mind
i could see
all three
building
castles on air
on the soul
of humanity
the actor
was endorsing
pan masala booze
making loads of money
the builder and the politician
joined hands building
holiday homes
on man made
hill stations
in the lap
of luxury
burning slums
smoke and fire
new homes
dont come free
no they said
we are human
we dont give charity
the actor would dance at
rich fat weddings
but for slumdwellers
homeless he had
no time he agreed
an eye sore
they must
be removed
on rail tracks
the shat and peed
a curse
a wanting seed
they only knew
to fornicate
over breed '
i opened my eyes
my fucked
imagination
from a worse
fate i hurriedly freed
to their future
i wished godspeed
in the slums
as they studied
to my workspace
i scurried
necessity
is the mother
of invention
politics is what
makes
the human soul bleed
call it democracy
where hopes
of a common man
in an empty grave
are buried
