Outdated
Today's day is forgotten
Today's date is forgotten
Today's month is forgotten
Today's year is forgotten
Only the vehicles moving on the road
tell that this is twentieth century
Only that
being said again and again
has frozen in memory
Otherwise
the same chariot festivals
consecrations
priests
princes in the names of ministers*
property disputes
parting families
competition jealousy animosity
war mania
death threats
democratic dictatorship
law books
human rights in deep sleep
instability
To forget the grief
magazines cinema
astrological and religious magazines
Why this poetry
for which citizen
For the dog
that prattles under my feet
Still my hope
has not diminished
Still some more
love is left
Note: * What does this line mean?

Not really get into the real sense of this poem. நாளை நமதே என்பது போன்ற நம்பிக்கை. அன்பு இன்னும் மிச்சமிருக்கிறது என்ற வரி மட்டுமே மொத்த கவிதையை தாங்கி நிற்கிறது. ஆனால் அந்த வரி ஏன் வந்து என்பதை என்னால் உள்வாங்க முடியவில்லை
ReplyDeleteÔகாலம் கடந்தÕ கவிதையின் கடைசி எட்டுவரிகளைப் பிரம்மராஜன் வெட்டி நீக்கியிருப்பதற்குக் கவிதையைச் செழுமைப்படுத்துவதற்காகவே அவர் அவ்வாறு செய்துள்ளதாகச் சிலர் காரணம் கற்பிக்கிறார்கள்.
