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.
