DAWN or DUSK – Delhi Poetry Slam

DAWN or DUSK

By Asok Kumar B

Digital world, all within;
Clear and white exterior,
Entire colour within,
Can adopt any colour,
Can be with anyone.

Human, whole within:
Belief, devil, gender,
Cast, creed and God,
Envy, hatred and love.
Option, optional.

Drug, the boss within;
Minute enough to drowse,
And, settle in dreams,
Caress in, carnation and
Awhile, incarnate Venus.

Digital world, mirrors drug;
Addiction on the anvil.
Temperance eroded.
Sunder, regular and riotous.
Destroy or kill, the instinct.

World dwindle to a point;
Love wander pointless.
Dark, the shadow of love.
Veda digitalized, sans soul.
Dawn or dusk, yet to know.
