BORED I AM TO DEATH
by azly rahman
of these fights between political leaders
verses they produce are like bad haiku
that makes poetry of Nature out of industrial smog
best for both to leave the scene
banishing the self
into the forest of yet another Jataka
and read poetry of the harakiri of ancient history
leave the scene if they must
and let chrysanthemums bloom
for way too long
we only have seen
dark spring greeting
to the sound
of the nation screaming
a finale'
the last moan
of our own seppuku
