Demons And Dragons Poem by Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya

The world is a site

where demons and dragons ceaselessly fight

Confucius called Lao Tse a dragon

The Tao Te Ching is the dragon

that is locked in mortal fight with

capitalism and logocentrism

Capitalism is the child of logocentrism

The everwidening market

is but the child of logocentrism

Oh Europe away from the tao

you are walking along the craterof a live volcano

Look below

Eternal fire that sprang from the Word

eagerly waits to cosume you
