Chiseled
A poem — an experiment into the mind

Chiseled, out of fire and rage,
Stripped away, all the world’s a strange
veneer, beneath what is shiny and new,
We hide me and you.
Succumb, to the machine,
A rat, spinning on a wheel
day by day, of course he forgot
what is real, what is not.
Inertial, after a stiff drink,
Tomorrow, a new leaf brings
a change, but incoherence wins
again, while the resistance begins.
The twig, mightier than the elephant,
Escape, it cannot no matter the resonant
guffaw, in frenzy is she
long before you and me.
Flooding, with the yin,
Come, witness what’s within
an avenger, brave enough to do
what few men never come through.
Thank you for reading.
Love, Mayur.
