Kasauli Greens

Green
Endless greens
Here I am
Out to lose myself
And I've lost it
Lost myself
Search.
Hunt.
Find.
Within me
Within you
Under my
Flesh
Loose and wobbly
Under yours
Tight and supple?
Butterflies flutter
And I think of her
You think of her too
It's a shadow on your face
You think
I'd miss??
Two butterflies
Now three
Dancing prancing
Up down
Now here now there
I point you point
Time for a smoke
Sit breathe
Oh fat me
Tired so easily
And you
So encouraging
Your ten steps
Slow down to
Mine
One two
Breathe breathe.
I lost us in the woods
I let us be there
We shall
Never return
As you and me
Never will we be
Us again.
We'll remain
Lost, somewhere, together...

Enter MORAL- i -BAN - ism

How convenient to look at
Taliban as a muslim extremist phenomena!
Look at you
You whiny protectors of morality
You perverts of the first degree
You weak morons
Who lack confidence in self
In one's belief systems.

Out to protect your wimmin?
When did we become
Cave men at what we do?
When did women need
That protection from you
Other than from you?
Wimmin ain't your cattle
To protect them from predators.
You are the predator yourself!

Obscene? I'll file a PIL
Against men who scratch
Their groins in public
Against people who pick
Their noses in public
Against men who grope
Against men who rub
Against those who stare
I'll file a PIL
And hope to gouch their eyes out.
I'll file a PIL
Against men who treat
Their wimmin like cattle.
Against parents who force
Daughters into unwanted alliances
A PIL against everyone
Anyone
Who has ever touched me
Without my permission
Against those made me hate
That I am a girl
Growing into a wommin
A PIL for death sentence
For all the above.

Gere-Shilpa out of proportion non-controversy! For all the perverts!!
