The Democracy

by Satish Verma   Sep 21, 2017


With stoicism writ on face
I invite the chisels
for giving birth to a dialogue

between me and the shaper.
Where did the things go wrong
in making the life a simple page

to write a beautiful poem?
Buddha give me a bo-tree or an interlocutor

who invents skin, teeth and eyes
of a failing system. The command

has gone to unknown robots. They were
manipulating the atrophied

limbs of high-tech generation
who do not know the pathless love
when we walk into the moon,

    This seems to highlight imperfections in politics. In particular how emotionless laws, political philosophy and executive commands are. Then I interpet; the same can be said about robotics and our reliance on them. The last stanza may refer to all these systems not realizing
    ..we have things to answer for in the afterlife.
    Hope I was close!
