Plundering of nascent thoughts,
An illicit elucidation by naïve worshipers,
Shackles, chains and captivity,
A known ignorance of the grand brevity,
Goals, success and all material manifestations of emotions,
Misinterpreted, misunderstood, modified,
Emotions innate by nature,
Morphed into instruments of rule,
Blind people queued up behind blind people,
At the door of the civilisation made mill,
To be fit into casts, packaged, labelled, stamped and
shipped,
Not necessarily in that order,
Heart-wrenching, suffocating, pitiful, abysmal,
Looking for space,
Unwittingly bending to the will of the cloaked liberator,
Once, twice, over and over again,
Tattered, gasping, torn into pieces and being put back
together,
Each time a little less,
Melted, Poured, Packaged, Labelled, Stamped and to be Shipped…
