The Man From Uttar Pradesh Rode A Royal Elephant When It Went Berserk He Opted For The Cycle.., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
when the cycle
breaks down
which it will
sooner or later
than he will
hitch a ride
on the elephant
now gone calm
worldly wise
he does not
trust the hand
or the lotus
a loaded dice
political chessboard
demands too much
sacrifice ..who
will bell the cat
says the wary mice
blind man led by
blind hopes blind
dreams ..promise
of eyes ...socketless
he remains as time
flies ...before he dies
