To Vote My Lot. Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

To Vote My Lot.



In democracy I got
For which people fought
Fight to liberty alight.
The souls in the past departed from chains
To a world of freedom as rain droplets to Sea.
Now, vote makes a knot to be dumb, deaf and blind
Till, next chance to stamp my desire on a sheet
As letters indifferently on a typewriter it pastes.
I lost my name but identified only by a number
Which is murmured or displayed as in my 'Addhar'.
'Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam' justifies Globalization
Since it means the whole world is as a family.
When the selfish fraud heads that family with
Rough commands'Hush! ' restive children's will
Will resort to riots for justice to get equality.
Water rocks while rocks block its movement ahead.
Point to point on Time Line the history rolls
Despotism, Democracy, Anarchy again Despotism
As experiments tell us of Oxygen Cycle to exist
In between Birth and Death: Skyward moving Vapour
Downward drizzles to spring ahead to Sea, its Source.
Oh! My lot! Destiny Designed, float in flood, surrender
To the inevitable predestined acts and be placid unknown
Waiting for next roles I have to act in Acts in life.
