A Child Three-Way Styled Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A Child Three-Way Styled

Rating: 5.0


Marx-Angels ‘tween them sired a love child
With a poor maiden whom they reviled,
Both argued, not agreed
As to who sowed the seed,
And poor child remained sired two-ways styled!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A story doing the rounds:Karl Marx together with Angels exploited (they, of all communists)a maid-servant in the house employed ever since she was a child of eight years. Karl (a proletariat at that)also never paid her for a life time of slavery that she rendered. She became pregnant in 1850, two years after Marx and Angels gave the call, ‘Workers of the world, unite'. The mother gave the child the first and middle names of Marx and Angels, and her own surname—Henry Frederick Demuth—all so apt for what might be called a child two-way sired! Indeed, world's two prime proletariats— workers of the world— were truly united in their labour of love.
