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
