I Am Caliban Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

I Am Caliban

Rating: 4.5


I am a Caliban groaning
Oppressed by Prospero
In an Isle unknown spring
My urge to freely flow.

Desires of Prospero his bridle
Prick and nag me; my Ego resists
The Cultural pressure they girdle
To shroud my Peace and past fast.

I can only pray that may Caliban be freed from the hold of Prospero, the representative of colonial power, by whose hands Caliban was subjugated as a slave though he happened to be the original occupant of the island! Though our admiration is for Prospero, we have our sympathies for Caliban! A terse write!

A terse but excellent poem of cultural pressure. Thanks for sharing, Nasarudheen Peace
