One Reality Show

Happy holidays. What a wonderful poetic weave. Interwoven within our time, Cosmos, and hearts with eloquence, while earthen, veraciously baying while meekly saying, we can but be like water. A few thoughts to close the New Year with :) An injustice to any is an injustice to all, and if it isn't addressed individually, it becomes a global injustice as well. "You can't struggle with the man's house (mansion) using the man's tools", Audrey Lourdes, "be the change you wish to see in the world", "the root of all oppression lies in (supposed) science", Gandhi. Remember, if responsibility isn't exercised, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like an unused muscle as well; now, sadly, because of self-possession, it needs to be exorcised before it's exercised. No one must be conned by the corporate structure's convolution, divide and conquer only works on the divided, life is indivisible, as your potential is illimitable. If you will, please copy, share. Matutinally Yours, reality, james m nordlund.-reality1

Deterrence

I liked the image of caressing the mimosa, like a metaphor for vulnerable love? The third stanza 'The spontaneous probe will start the construct..' is very intriguing, but I wonder if it could be expressed more simply. I liked the abstract feel of this though. It feels like I am walking through time, touching and feeling.-monono

http://www.thestarlitecafe.com/

Tragedies

This reminds me of a few different pieces, such as the kidnap poem by Nikki Giovanni and the circus is cheaper when it rains by Iain S. Thomas.

It reminds me of kidnap because of the style, the flow, the swiftness and the subtlety of the words even though they carry intense power. And the circus is cheaper when it rains because of the emotion and the imagery and the uniqueness of the message being presented. I am in no way saying this is plagerism, I am simply appreciating the connection I was able to make, because in truth this is incredibly different from both, but has similar roots - if that makes sense.

I also really enjoy your voice here, and I'm eager to read more of your work in the future.-BlueJay

Icing

We'll never be able to control this planet, try though we might. I think as a race, we're incredibly arrogant to believe that we can. The earth is on a journey all of its own and was very busy with that long before humans popped up for the ride, and it will continue its journey long after we've self-destructed

Still Alive

A though-provoking poem, Satish ji. The idea of gender-bending to give man some of the basic genes of a woman and make him more compassionate, certainly could lead to a better world.-GSP Rao

Yes we will survive everything, but wars, stubborn wars will become worse; we will die a thousand deaths without any 'different' birth therapy, but not succumb. We are destined to witness and withstand wars. -Supratik Sen

Thinking Off •••

"...bear the pluralism―"
When I read a line like this I go all over the place (pluralistically) to withstand: people, crowds, variety's offering, weight of being, bombardment of stimuli, world view reconcilled, expose the plethoric, the substance of writing that trires to unveil everything, surviving any onrush of emotion, or onslaught of the seeable or touchable. Rich image for getting lost in. -allets

Dragonflies

Satish,
You, quietly, are one of the most abstract and talented poets on this site. Your poetry is never less than beguiling and mesmerizing. Take care.-Ben Pickard

Gliding

A fine poem on the soulless lives we lead, indulging in base acts and then running for cover in the 'sangam'. -GSP Rao

http://museindia.com/

Perhaps

I like the visuals that each stanza portrays. The first stanza is very clear and an excellent creative start.

The second stanza paints a vivid moon lit night

I think the third is describing desire which should be sharp but isnt sharp enough to cut a jelly fishes eye

A sun stroke was speechless without a sun the gift of a night made me think that you were saying that night was a gift rather than the alternative which would be painful like sunburn or take away the sun from the sun burn and the sunburn is defunct and so you are left with the gift of cool night?

I loved "The sweet tooth of a lie scoops a truth" its a great metaphor but "king of bitters" made me struggle a little. I wondered if the addiction to lying left a bitter taste so by being a consistent liar by default would be the king of bitters taste?

I could be completely off track but I thought I would give it s whirl. It's certainly thought provoking and very deep. Best wishes-Milly Hayward

What a shameful picture on the so-called masculinity. A masculine poem indeed!-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

http://museindia.com/

Time Will Take Revenge

It is a strange mix of hope and hopelessness. The poem throughout submits to violence and accepts it as a phenomenon, but the title of the poem, which is obviously at the helm of the text gives us a boomeranging hope.

Undeniably striking are these lines:
It was always extreme.
The temper, the love,
the hate.
You could offer yourself
for idiopathic study.

This 'extreme' outburst of emotions is a global headache. It seems people of this planet are suffering from 'imbalance syndrome', we are santolanbhrast; what Chinua Achebe calls as 'balance of stories' needs to be learned and inculcated. This minute we love something so dearly that anyone who doesn't love that something is hated and outcast, cleared from the face of the earth, and so on. How does one understand Myanmar, a Buddhist country to so bittelry hate the rohingyas; this hatred has become ubiquitous now in any part of the world. This group in this region, no other groups, if there is any other group, clear them, the word for killing is clear, a very nice euphemism indeed; Facebook reflects this nature very well, in like-unlike-friend-unfriend clusters, but the 'real' cause for this insanity is not quite unknown. One reason could be the jungle life that still exists in our minds because in forests, the origin of our birth, you do see animals living like that, I think we have confused their killing with ours, theirs is for eating, ours is for winning and for something we do not really know.

Would have liked to know from you if you love reading Beckett.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Lotus is so much hyped with a particular political party that it is difficult as a reader to take the eyes off it and re-see the intent of the poem; however, the disobedient image of the innocuous flower does not leave from the head, much like the broken nib trying to write or re-write the destiny.

My Questions

So here a prophecy has been proven false. What prophecy is the question. I reckon it may refer to famine or maybe wars that lead to humanitarian distasters.
The fig tree is used here to perhaps illustrate that just a few small seeds or actions can alleviate suffering.

The references to the divine may suggest we have no one to blame but ourselves.

The last stanza is directed to the reader. To paraphrase 'are you tired of falls lies empty promises'?. Could be a comment on politics here, maybe that is what is questioned here. Hope i was close!-Mark

Last stanza...my only idea is maybe a reference to his painting kiss.-Mark

The Democracy

This seems to highlight imperfections in politics. In particular how emotionless laws, political philosophy and executive commands are. Then I interpet; the same can be said about robotics and our reliance on them. The last stanza may refer to all these systems not realizing ..we have things to answer for in the afterlife. -Mark

http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/

Ashamed

Witty expression,Satish Sir.Indeed there are many people who even after committing the most heinous crimes don't feel ashamed rather they begin to justify their brutal acts by using most abusive words.But justice will be done at last and Janus will open the gate of hell for those criminals.In this mundane world these criminals succeed in escaping from being penalized and their brutal acts filled the pages of the historians but they should not consider this respite as a boon but it is the filthiest bane in the guise of boon for them but they realize it not.Very nice composition,Satish sir.-IFTEKHAR AHMED, KOLKATA

How brilliantly the title of the poem is beaming in its every line Satish ji. Wonderful to read about the god of beginnings who will trap the light (as if that's possible) and open the doors. The hyphenated connection between the third and the fourth couplets speaks volumes of our futile, artificial, superficial and plastic connections and reluctance to address the pressing issues despite using verbosity and other instruments of war. When we commit a crime as heinous as rapes, we do forget, don't we, that we are also raping humankind by insulting our moms (ah precious moms, our mammas) and mother tongue is bound to break into unnoticed tears. This is one of your best, from all aspects. -Supratik Sen, Kolkata

http://museindia.com/

Relentlessly

So profound a poem, Satish Sir! Conveying the truth wrapped in metaphors and striking verses, is so appealing. A couple of readings and guided with Supratik's expert comments, I am able to garner the gist. Much to learn from you. Thankyou for this splendid share. -Gomathi Mohan, New Delhi

What a horrific image of endorsed chicanery and lies in the guise of liberation and failing and murderous democracy! The penultimate or the tenth sentence says it all and prepares to relentlessly highlight the absolute opposite of what democracy stands for, that you are shoved on the tracks before incoming electric wheels. This example far exceeds the otherwise cliché example of an inevitable disaster, riding a tiger. Eleven thousand mistakes are openly hidden in these eleven sentences, and the eleven stops are on one level urging the world to stop and on another level they focus, underline the non-stoppable self-destructive and suicidal character of the world. Absorbing, emotionally charged and intellectually stimulating. -Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Words And Passages

This is indeed a beautiful poem, sir. The best I have read today! -Preetha Sreeni, Palakkad

A subtle poem reflecting the fierceful, forceful and threatening silence maintained by the keepers, at least those revered, conferred and identified as such. Very painful indeed, whence the laughing Buddha is ailing, seeing the world topsy-turvy. Difficult times made more so with no will whatsoever to find an answer. Loved the last two lines, reminding we are not immortal or young forever. Time is fleeting by. Thankyou Satish Sir for sharing this beautifully composed poem, painted with painful reality. -Gomathi Mohan, New Delhi

Warning against a warning!

Reading the poem gives blue horrors to find mindless people defining borders with scratched, inert body that is also celebrated as a warning in the confused world where the smiling Budhha becomes the ailing Budhha upon perhaps seeing intolerance in his endearing world; a foolish act would be definitely to find the hand which is supposed to help, heal, now engaged in the hit-hurt-hate acts. Somehow the narrator suddenly turns back and warns that tomorrow will cease to remain with guilds.

Perhaps it is this turning back at the offenders that justifies the name of the poem as Words and Passages, where words also mean promises and passages the passing or the changing times. -Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Kindled Night

This is a truly fascinating piece to read because, at least to me, it is incredibly unique and it showcases an extremely diverse use of imagery. I hope more people come across this.-BlueJay

Weaving Silence

I thought that you might appreciate an indepth feedback on this remarkable piece. It is only my opinion and perceptions but hopefully you will take it in the spirit given.

The first stanza kicks off with a dramatic start that hits you right between the eyes.
"Do I have a choice before knifing the page for a meaning, when I was drowned in a nostalgia"

Stanza 2 - I had never heard of Cinchona bark so looked it up - it is a tree whose bark has medical properties. Knowing this - for me gave this stanza even more depth.

"Cinchona bark. This was my keyword for living bitterly under a tryant inciting the riots of colors".
These words bring imagery to my mind of someone who is strong, a surviver managing to stay sane despite living under the thumb of a tyrant. I especially loved "inciting the riots of colours "what an amazingly creative way to portray violence incited by a tyrant.

Stanza 3 - "The digital death comes as a reward for insane truth" Again a powerful line that grips the reader. Then the poem takes a more sorrowful tone... "You turn the back on home and walk towards the sea –" the seeping out of strength, the fights all gone.

Final stanza. "to count the empty shells on beach, here life completes a cycle from emptiness to emptiness you are ready to go in void. Here the sadness deepens and leaves the reader feeling the loss of a life and the feeling of emptiness.

An inspirational piece. Although you have written on the death of Steve Jobs at the end I feel that this poem is so well written as that it could apply to so many peoples lives and as I interpretted in
many different ways. Very enjoyable. -Milly Hayward

Wow, fantastic piece, Satish!-mossgirl19

Taking Cognisance

The poem raises the issue of poaching very poignantly. It comes to a freezing point of horror when poaching is extended to killing of the girl-child. Satirical and very hard-hitting.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

A Strange Phenomenon

Time, a non-negotiable element of Life as mortality has proven...Born to die, just as the moon, sun, stars & space...while here within this dimension, we can bond with said forces of God's astrological largess...and speak to these elements if we choose, so long as we listen to their answers to our queries...as aside from their 'Creator' their be no more glaring and trustable source of our lives and planets future than these forces. So, why not take the TIME to dialogue while time and space are still masque by science as conceived by a Bang & a whole of blackness...And they call them Rocket Scientists! God help us all, my friend.-Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Anatomy Of Violence

Brilliant! Hard-hitting on violence at its best. While the first stanza looks like Inès and Garcin locked up in 'hell' or *Huis clos (a windowless room) written by Jean-Paul Sartre, the last stanza perhaps refers to the horse in the novel called Black Beauty by Anna Sewell who, much like the novel is finally relieved to his happy retirement in the country after 'a myriad tears'. The powerful reference talks so clearly about the atrocities (a signature assault) and our inability to reach out to 'the god' with our balloon thought. Well done. And what an apt name dear Satish!
On the critique side, would have preferred a footnote for the asterix marked against Black Beauty. However, as an author you must always have the last word, so would like to be corrected if you meant anything else for the asterix. I am condemned by the academic way of looking at texts, which says 'rien est gratuit', nothing is free.

*Huis clos (closed door) is the French name, it's called No Exit and In camera in British and American Engish translations respectively.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Misdemeanor

Psychological war is the reason for the physical war we have in this world. It pollutes everyone, the three pronouns very methodically put in the poem; laying all the cards on the table has been very poignantly used in the last stanza; putting oneself in other's shoes (father's shoes) doesn't really help altering the shower of abuses. It (the psychological war) continues, the ping pong game is on and this is the misdemeanor (the wrongdoing that continues like the cause and effect of karma) the poem is talking about; if I could make sense after reading the poem many times.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

The thought process you had when writing this eludes me but can I just say I love it for what it is, suppose that's the beauty of poetry.-Aries Rising

To be honest I don't even know what you are talking about, but I love it. Blue clouds? Empty cauldron? Robot leading a revolution maybe? This poem remind me of the scene in the 2011 (I think) of the reboot of freddy kreuger nightmare when at the beginning he was dreaming of all the weird things and pigs in the pots on fire in the kitchen. This poem also for some reason makes me think of heronymous bosch and one of the paintings, thinking what kind of fable is being depicted here. Great poem. And please don't be offended I'm writing on instinct ha.-Milo
