No Prophet Speaks

by Satish Verma   Aug 5, 2021


You decide first-whom
to blame? As if I am?
on threshold of denial
and anger.

When to kill a polluter,
who was deployed to?
protect the virginity of blue ocean?
The stealth fighter becomes a fake.

They meet like polygamists
exchanging the rings to remain
unfaithful. The untested blood
was a carrier.

On the brink, comes the army
of black ants, waking the lover
in evening light. You should not
stir. Greed will make the sleeper move.

    Incredible! I valued your expression and way of revealing truth. A tender unique way to say much more with less. To notice the disharmony while maintaining heart wholeness. Not with anger. You powerfully send a clear message with your words. Also instilling even more power from your uncorrupted standpoint within your being.
