Around The Circus Arena Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

and at last a crucial kick it demands
to make the final result
all the we simply spectators
only enjoy the fire game on a living landscape
its meadows mountains sculptures architectures
everyday life of millions of baby child women youth old
boots sleeves softy hearts of swelling beauty
shackled animals bars billionaries banquet
mercy cruelty capturing credibility art anguish laughter
exchange of cry and charismatic arrogance
just need a kick to make a final judgement

buttons never weep
nails not
but finger feels the tremor of disposing vanity
exclusion the main purpose of disgusting tolerance

before these whole happenings
the world awaiting around the circus arena
just as flowers await before its plucking
whether to glorify heart hankering or articulated disguise
to hide the civilized mask

strictly we have distributed the surface
for business and battle
battling business
business in battle
or
battle business
humanity stands far away to bring another sun
in another phase of other beginning

no other way to make us stop
hegemony and hierarchy our ultimate focus
to grip and grab the rein of power
killing destroying not any factor to consider
circumstances demand a win
and time demands the extinguishing dilemma
men and animals negligible in colorful filter
plants and trees play nothing but hurdles
river and sees, snow and draught, rain and cold
useless cycle of appearing and disappearing
only flags in the ramp very much anxious
for the final thrust
