A MOVEMENT TOWARDS UNIVERSAL ONENESS

YAYATI

Yayati awakens to a vagrant world 

centuries lived and groaned,

he is quite conscious.

Question of youth eternal, carnal bliss a dictum,

stout bodies float, thrill in oblivion,

shroud wraps up sick delight,

as darkness sinks into a silhouette

and drifts to perdition.

Yayati’s history  a raison d'être sordid.

life’s rainbow untied for Kalkin is far away,

the Brahmins, the saints subsidize sadhus’ crowds

babu-netas fall short  on time of sunup,

whispers deny that Gods have turned up.

Orphaned and rootless live men, as sin drips in blood,

Godlike swank as if Gods - manlike gods look animals.

Quarrel in elliptical dome pledge inquests

phony blood-dyed lips kill judges

and there is no to frame laws,

in a spring of deceit as it feels the pulse of times

and swap.

Kalkin is not Vaman  to conquer world,

in steps three vague Kalkin winks sadly,

and retreats an old saint.

Nuclear powder yells at prayers sulkily

as Kalkin lands,

finishes sins, no piety exists as men look beasts.

Yayati’s fresh and virile

beastly men perpetuate sins,

as courtiers dance in circles with holy judgment.

Judges grieve faintly over the preordained wisdom

of the East.

Foretell visions of fate of seven Angels,

the vials of wrath

beasts belittle God and add sins upon lies 

world lives in phials as men on saucers fly.

God is devils’ fiend an ancient myth it is

a century of neo scientists men,

albeit devils-beasts. 

Bodhisattva born in new shape persists

in a fuzzy end.

Men stir as sanity codifies lie and lust

of fleshly tang

Yayati lifts guilt.

Yayati’s wisdom in vigour prays in primeval journeys,

With a mild affinity a man lived

with imbued fervor, loved women

erudition and love stayed timeless beyond epochs.

Father egoist with a loyal son but Puru refuses youth

to agonized Yayati.

and sins ache where illusion fosters weird ties.

If Yuyutsu is born  for the cause of humanity

and finishes sinners as he inherits holocaust, 

opening a godly living may be ‘ohm shanti ohm.’

Robots in men live now  with nuclear fears

guns and perdition,

lofty summit’ writ in gloom as a finish lacks

ancient Yayati

a beast’s man finds Yayati in robot,

an incongruity in coinage.

Twin leeway in living where Yayati’s loss is cosmic

psychic robots-rulers tainted think wellbeing of the self,

as sinning beasts’ men scoff

as it is a relegated devils’ tavern;

and an exalted dome.

Wicked sagacity rolls out  fecund love for people

relations with masses con a portico

for safety trap,

masquerading prolongs to make living difficult.

Words in leisure mask themes waiting for followers

and no will enforces goodness,

carnage escalates in reigns of Yayatis of this millennium.

Postures hold the spirit of age and the century begins

as slashed off in the middle.

Brusque cry for the crown of a polluted world

of robot or a man or if Yayati admits,

fills ears with venom.

Century sustains beasts in Yayatis 

a mere cultural syndrome in modern’s media blitz

whetting tongues for urban ecstasy,

and die in crematorium with an epitaph first,

and here dwells an ego large.

Avaricious town in gay mind-set in tragic quaysides

of today’s Oedipus denying father a name

as a requiem it is perfect  and writes death of an age,

for relations fade away

even before the autumn sets in.

Absurd stance stinks grooves

when generic deformity looks awful,

Stoic elites’ culture a falsity for animals’ bliss

fabled existence plunges into chasm deep,

and feigns life,

in a world of dry rains and shade-less bivouac.

Here joins future that forgets past

a certainty frozen in the vortex of lust,

safety chaotic in domes, 

where a vengeance is inflicted,

in talk of life with periods of confusing time.

Fears of death scatter defense

when life breathes perils

Yayati dead worried long ago lets in yearning,

for rebirth’s impossibility,

but a man insists on life without an aim.

He may rescue a man if Pitamah stalls birth

of a man

consigned to self pity  in an era inappropriate

when atomic threat appears in shadows

to confound and sadden man.

Yayati’s goes past the image and a man lives

as a fossilized being

in a flitting life profile Yayati struggles

to reinvent destiny

beyond seizing life as God envisioned 

in the beginning of the world,

of profound confusion in fostering of identity

a mystical puzzle it is

Amen!
