GOODBYE TO WORDS
In the bivouac of words
I found some of them had dug trenches
And were tunneling there.
Surprised I asked a few reporters
What had happened
Why were words so scared?
They might be hiding here
For fear of bombardment
Or misuse by crafty politicians
A few words changed their outfit
And wore a veil too when
They went out for some urgent purchases.
A few veiled words were being
Taken to the hospital
In an ambulance
They have been sodomized
By some powerful tongues,
Winds whispered in my ears.
I came across underground tunnels
In the dictionary in which
A whole civilization was taking shelter.
Some words had put up
Their shops in the Mall
And were selling illusions and lies
People, unaware of the unholy war
Against words were busy
In their ignorant affairs
In the central Museum
Goodness was hanging from the ceiling
Truth was being administered Sacromania.
Some armed Guards were on duty
To check the movement
Of words
There was scare in the bivouac
Lines and lines said nothing
People had said goodbye to words.
