The Prohibition
The prohibition
with it's own confidence
is declared
Nobody should stand in a crowd
No gatherings
Apart from religious and funeral processions
no other processions shall be conducted
As the loud speaker from the Auto Rickshaw yells
The public was purchasing vegetables
The commoner does not respect anything
So as that is this
In this country
when four people get together and converse
the things that come out
are well known
Why this riot
There has to be a respect
for the prohibition
To a person
who just thinks from the sky (day dream)
why this prohibition
Arson to the bus
Riot
Lathi-Charge
Teargas
Gunfire
unless these occur
we don't have to touch it
Let us value a prohibition
Let us be respectful
As I walked by
this news fell into my ears
Twelve people
who were fired from their jobs
were on hunger strike until death

கிண்டல் தொனிக்கும் இன்னுமொரு அரசியல் கவிதை. தடையை எதிர்த்து ஆவேசமான வார்த்தைகளை இதில் போட்டிருந்தால் அது முழக்கம் போல் ஆகி இருக்கும். இதுவே ஆத்மாநாமின் பாணி என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.

With all self confidence
the ban
is proclaimed
no meetings, none should stand in a group
except for religious and funeral processions
no other processions are allowed
as the loud speakers was screaming from the auto
public were buying vegetables
the common man doesn't care for any of this
like that this too, in this country
when 4 people converse
matters that come
are known universally,
why this rioting
My request
respect should be shown
for the ban
for a person
who is simply
dreaming in the air
Why ban?
unless buses are torched
rioting
lathi charge
tear gas
firing
fire resorted
we need not even torch them
let us honour the ban
let us behave respectfully
as I kept going
fell in the ears that
12 people
who were dismissed from the jobs
started/commenced 'fast unto death.'
