Vicious Circle Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam
Vicious Circle
In cities of India we see shameless
Dionysus with his Maenads dance
Wine, women as grapes and juice
Flow their fragrance to feeble noses.
Devendra with his dancers roaming
Chanakya’s toxic girls ever spying.
Struggle for power callously moving
The sigh of the poor feebly rumbling
Padma Vyooha moves entrap the Truth
Files here play hide and seek with Truth
Foul mouths trickle ever words untruth
Who can break this Vicious Circle growth?
=================================
Note: Dionysus: son of Zeus and Semele, Theban princess.He is the god of wine and luxury Maenads are women sing and dance In intoxication of wine with Dionysus. Devendra: King of gods(Devas) Urvasi, Rambha, Menaka and Thilothama are his famous dancers. Chanakya(Kautilya) : Teacher of Chandra Gupta Maurya who speaks of Visha kanya being used in war/kill enemies. PadmaVyooha: it is a complex army formation to trap enemy and defeat him.In Mahabharata war Abhimanyu was killed so.(here) it is corruptions and scams that kill the truth and the Justice)
Men seeking the three Ws [ wine, women and wealth] have been instrumental for all these. Being away from the trio of this vicious circle is one way of leading a meaningful life. A good reminder write sir!
agree with Tirupathi.. good poem with wonderful expressed
The lotus formation of the vicious circle seems to be a one way journey. No return. Hope someone who knows both ways will come sometime and solve it. Nicely expressed. Thank you.
