All I See

 I close my eyes, and I see — 


A tree full of flowers 

with no man to water it on a summer's day


But,

tear out the the flowers to decorate their houses. 


I open up my eyes,  and I see —


Kids starving, with their fathers having fields

full of crops. 


But, somebody looting all the grains —


and I close my eyes again. 


I close my eyes again and I see,


We all are turtles, running on a race 

actually played and control by rabbits

 who are resting under a tree


We reach the final stretch but, contradicting the old adage, 

the rabbits win. 


I open up a my eyes. This time I see—


 the labours fuelling the machines

with their sweat,


And the bourgeoisie and capitalists

cleaning their shoes by it

as thousands of litres of labours' blood drain. 


And yeah,  I close my eyes again! 


I close my eyes again. I see—


Humans fighting among themselves. 


Fighting over an imaginary statue

they call GOD, 

an almighty fictional figure, 

involving  humans into inner-friction. 


Now when I open up my eyes, 

all I see is nothing but blood stain. 


And I'm clueless, whether to keep 

my eyes open or close it again,

 for once and always.
