Threnody of The Truth


 Threnody of The Truth
--------------------------------

The moon
I want to pull
Out of jaws of clouds
To dispel the darkness
Shadowing over the human psyche of intolerance.

The truth
I want to reveal
With the churning of thoughts
Injustice meted out long ago
Sure, will be marginalised by so and so.

The  plough
I want to plough
Deeper and deeper to sow the seeds
To grow plants of love ignoring  power of sleaze
Bullshit ! None cares when a rapist gets his release.

The  victim
I want to see
Brave enough to come out of closet
To tell also story of partnering the crime
Doesn’t it take two words up-down to rhyme ?

The poem
I want to write
Pour my heart and cleanse my soul
May be booed as truth is a bitter pill
So is digging the grave and beans to spill.

    Comment: AWESOME! ! ! ! This is the wish of every single human who wants love and peace on earth, the world has been passing through its most difficult times since 2nd world war phase, hatred on peak, bullshiting on peak, leaders are enjoying an unlimited power by virtue of manipulations done in the democratic setup. Let us all hope that the better sense will prevail and poets will keep showing the mirror in their own ways. A profound poem with substance and touch of current affairs and reality.10+++

    Thanks for tagging me.
    The truth will prevail,
    Metoo has set the trail,
    There will be justice,
    The courage will definitely
    Prevail

    Pintu Mahakul Deeper and deeper we feel the moon. Brighter and brighter this moon shines. Out of jaws of clouds we see the beautiful moon dispels the darkness and gives us calm light. A great poem is well penned basing on perception. Thank you sir very much for sharing this.

    I did not get your exact meaning when you write .....the victim I want to see brave enough to come out of closet to tell also story of partnering the crime.
    Doesn't it take two words up down to rhyme ?.........
    ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THAT A RAPE victim IS A PARTNER IN CRIME.?

    Let me thank you for your presence on this poem and insightful observation. The stanza is open to interpretations. The poet utters the word ‘ Victim’ Victim can be a male or female. Though the poet did not say ‘rape’ any one can construe that according to his/her perception. No one is perfect. Check out the fate of living in relationships. Both sides play victim card once breakup happens. Both are the patners in crime but only one is punished. The story of another one remains unheard always. Happy reading and writing :)

    Tribhawan Kaul these particular lines come right after you have written about noone caring when a rapist is acquitted free......it gets linked to the next stanza and conveys the impression that a rapist goes scot free and the victim should come out of the closet.
    There are no other words to break the continuity of thought.
    Anyone reading cannot know or understand your mind or thoughts ....only what is put into words which here certainly need some intersection.
    However it is your poem and you are entitled to give it any form.
    As a reader I felt the need to clarify your viewpoint.
    Thanks for your justification.

    Sunil Kaushal Ji. It is really nice of you to speak your concern. The title itself says a lot about a poem and the poem has subpoems within it with subtitles. Each stanza stands apart from the other one. I am not justifying my writing. You are very correct in your perception and as a poet I feel otherwise. Here lies the beauty of poetry. Thanks once again. Happy reading and writing. :)
