Poems For Review / A Train Of Squalor; A Poem Of Intellectual Profundity. by Unchained: 10:34pm On Jul 26, 2013 |
A TRAIN OF SQUALOR A train it is! Yes, a moving train A train at the centre of the heart of a turbulent city Humming and booming with smokes not black but burnt Carrying the toilers, the labored, the sick, and the disillusioned beleaguered Jam-packed like rags obsolete Body complexion unbalanced like those of my grandfather’s chameleons Sick in the head, sick in the mind, sick in the body but strong in the eyes A moving train it is! Accommodating on the outside than the inside Cheap enough to lock up worries of the mighty cash The conveyed on the outside are properly seated on it Seated and stronger than the incorrigible noise With their burnt hands rolling up the lighters Smoking away anguish and a frustration that seems inherent In a glimpse, you know their unending plights, Bones not at ease in those dirty mats called cloths Lives geared towards a labor in restless endlessness They all leave in the cold, early morning, Running helter skelter to leave by the moving train For their destinations of negativities Servants of survival, battling against hunger and not wants Uppermost red in the eyes, with no love for a fly But want for food Their dark slums are the best palaces of comforts Higgledy piggledy, with something of lifelessness And faeces loving rats, on the lookout for an heavenly drop of nothing but faeces And then, the Masses at the rail tracks! In the glorified names of traders, Hands clanging with the common man’s needs Life made cheaper for the destitute Comforts hung in the air And the kingdom of heaven brought to earth. The “Traders”, soldiers of the scorching sun and the merciless rain With a battle against wants And a dogged will to embrace hope amidst uncertainties I see them running with their unsold sacraments in upmost fear From a furious moving train of squalor, unstoppable and unreachable And coming back stronger when the moving sadist is all gone Look at the takers! The bosses of influence and creators of affluence Watching the endless train Silent in their big motor cars, Illuminated on the inside and dark on the outside “The train is noisy”, so they say.
