LABOUR LOST IN GUTTERS (Poem)

 Goldhunters in Mumbai - 1

Even from the gutters
of this city-life there is some hope
to recover a nugget
but from the morons there is none
– they are shipshape
for they’re hedonist market-delivered –
except for the parroted
responses impulsive, manipulations divisive.

What could one expect
from cultured synthetic show-plants
made at the assembly-plants 
by the culture of contentment and waste?
No flowers. No fruit.
Not a creative deed – no deliverance.
Mumbai [7-8-2002]
