RED FLAGS
by Rema Prasanna


Burnt up sun and communists
painted capital of Kerala red
In Padmanabhapuram, a God
rests on Adisesha, a serpent
with thousand heads in one
spatial ocean of manifestations
In one conscious attempt
god and communists
stood apart as contrasts
Primarily atheists at divergent pedestals
worshiped Marx and Lenin;
comrades, dissents in a distinct world
of red union and communism,
Empty reservoirs, idolized suppositions
entwined on a complex frame up

A glitch from cavern of capitalism
caused fall of Berlin Wall and
united German debacle a cause
of worry and collapse of
Soviet Union a final nail
on anxieties of comrades
who raucously retort on all
historic events of their inapt destiny
In their structured belief, a definite Russian
ripped iron curtain of Berlin for a price
and stumbled the union
transcending Great Wall, a reliable
influence and confluence
of their undying fortitude
Above all...
monopolized capitalism
seized and confined globe..
Prudent comrades of proletariats
their burnt up dreams and vibrant flags
painted capital of Kerala red
