Assault

An unfeeling world
A cage
Could you escape?

Conform conform conform
To an older man’s importance
Could you escape?

Some want sex
Some want beauty
And some want duty

Could you escape?

Tie you in shackles of righteousness
If you tried
But who should you abide?

That people exist with no questions,
Sheep
That people exist unanswered,
f&#$!! (bleep)
That rebels exist,
wallowing, deep

Why must some enjoy their disgusting lust?
Why must some innocence go bust?
Why must you unfeeling living dead go on as if nothing happened thus?

You sad pieces of living s*?!t
Know this
Someday it will bury you
In a heartless pit
Destroy your meaningless bliss

With every breath
You sleep in your living death

Not even a semblance of worth
A weight upon centuries of earth

~Aaksha Meghawat

Dedicated to

El Capitan

(PC: Sahil Shah)

For a thousand years
I stood…
Faceless in their minds

Witnessing stories,
Of all kinds

I too have wisdom to share,
If only they cared

I too have a soul,
A voice,
their squabbles stole

The birds sing my song,
And occasionally moan

But they
They only think
Never reach that unknown

~Aaksha Meghawat

Stranger

Mermaid Vancouver

Stanley Park, Vancouver

To share with the familiar
No burdens
To share with the friend
No hurdles

Will you be my Stranger?

Listeners who only talk
Talkers who only babble
Babblers lost in their cacophonous minds
Everything’s a squabble

Will you be my Silence?

Many have come
And taken
Many have drunk
And walked away shaken

Will you be my Future?

To build a bridge
Of precarious expectation
And leave me stranded
On a ledge broken

Will you be my Keeper?

To hear everything
And judge nothing

Don’t be
My Stranger….
Just be Mine
Stranger……

~Aaksha Meghawat

WITHIN

What am I?

A state of mind

A situation

An occurrence

A floating leaf in the flowing river

A speck in the great rush

A draft in the making

An event in the rolling time

To subject my energy to the vagaries

My soul to the torment

My tranquillity to attachment

My purpose to an outcome

My resilience to results

My path to the wilderness of others

Myself to judgement

This subjection, dilution, estrangement……..

Simply no more, simply no more.
