Who Had Spoiled The Show?

by Satish Verma   Nov 12, 2021


Muzzle the ape, that
bleeds the tall tree,
tearing apart the blue birds.
I saw it coming.

I was overwrought; watching a
beheading? of the innocent,
in the town square.
People standing in queues to
grab the voodoos.

When you will end my woes
basking in the glory of blood?

O god, take away my chips,
my papers,
my pen.

I am tired of this deceit of man.
Everybody walks like a saint
on the holy banks
where flows the river of tears.

    If I could nominate this poem I would, it deserves to be read. the physical structure itself is perfectly poised and the reader has no choice but to dwell ever so briefly before the next stanza, this, coupled with your punctuation (and obviously the actual content itself) creates an unbelievably powerful poem.
