Raveendran N.V. - ! Man

When the racists’s wrath
Rent your chest
You knew
The messenger of Yama
Intimating immortality
Hei man!

History repeats
Turning up brave men, women
Water! Air! Cosmic Power!

When hangmen’s noose
Turns round your neck
Chat with them
As if they are children!

You rode on many horses
Travelled through many wombs
Beyond food, fear, sleep, coitus
To become a man!

Raveendran N.V.
