Once Upon A Tehelka

01.

I am holier than thou
I don't get caught.

(Thiruvanathapuram / 23-11-2013)

02.
The pot calls the kettle black
The kettle blames the coal
What fun slinging mud
Mined from the very same hole.

03.

If you are the kind
Who's up-to-date
Then you would have known
My country's state
Here fathers kill
Father figures rape
And were it not
For those ladies in shape
Barkha, Sagarika
(Not Shoma, you see)
Have delivered us
From patriarchy.

04.

The Jolly men of la la land
Clearly see a Tehelka hand
In every rape they snoop about
Including the ones with them under doubt.

05.

Why did God
If he exists
And is male
Create more
And if he is a she
In disguise
Was that nice ?

06.

The Sinner
The Sinned upon
And the spurious Saints
Remember the same
Amnesia.

(NID Ahmedabad / 29-11-2013)

07.

I accuse
And you are done for
Simply because
I accuse
And can
Hide my name
And flaunt your shame
Legally
Before the law
Could fix the flaw

(NID Ahmedabad / 30-11-2013)

05.

I hate men
Not the ones who are mine
And will listen to me whine
About how
I hate men.

(NID Ahmedabad / 01-12-2013)

08.

Politically correct
Or conservative
Either way
The Tribe will
Have its say
Shut your mouth
Or prevent it
From coming out
Consequence
Flatulence.

(NID Ahmedabad / 04-12-2013)

09.

The reason why
Fence-sitters
Like their perch
Despite the literal
Pain in the ass
Are the earnest do-gooders
On either side.
