Disregard -- A Poem
©By Vijaya Sundaram
April 7th, 2013
It is only when you sit in silence
Electricity humming in your eyes
That you notice you are grimly angry.
It seems the thought police have invaded
All the spaces, inserted themselves in
All your faces, devoted themselves to
Tracing and erasing all that you are.
“But … But …” you stammer deep within your mind
And now you hope that they will never find
The depth of your disregard for that which
They hold so very dear, so very close
To their lemming hearts, justification
Upon justification to prove that
What they did was always right and always
True, because only they are right, you see.
So, observing all, you reflect and rejoice
That, although they seek to undo your mind
They’ll not find you, for you’ll be gone, a flash
Of laughter and mischief, and that too will
Vanish in the hot sunshine of your words.
