Threnody Of The Truth Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

The moon
I want to pull
Out of jaws of clouds
To dispel the darkness
Shadowing over the human psyche of intolerance.

The truth
I want to reveal
With the churning of thoughts
Injustice meted out long ago
Sure, will be marginalised by so and so.

The plough
I want to plough
Deeper and deeper to sow the seeds
To grow plants of love ignoringpower of sleaze
Bullshit! None cares when a rapist gets his release.

The victim
I want to see
Brave enough to come out of closet
To tell also story of partnering the crime
Doesn't it take two words up-down to rhyme?

The poem
I want to write
Pour my heart and cleanse my soul
May be booed as truth is a bitter pill
So is digging the grave and beans to spill.
