Where Buds Refuse To Bloom Poem by Saroj Padhi

WHERE BUDS REFUSE TO BLOOM



How to get across this stifling human weather

where asphyxiated, buds forever refuse to bloom

and where in heart of light, lurks a fear of dark

and unripe flowers shower seeds of insidious gloom?



Baby birds return to nests before onset of dusk

but baby girls are plucked to be ripped into shreds

before their feet can toddle back to mothers' nest,

by the senseless claws of sex-maniacs in dirty sheds;



hyenas stalk flocks to pull out vital limbs of lambs

demonic gurus grope innocuous skins of Ashramites,

as bullets from red barrels target bridges and dams

and countless heads keep rolling in man-animal fights!



rivers dry failing to bear the brunt of new civilization,

jungles die as seeds are foiled by new age fulmination!
