1.  I NEGATE MY EXISTENCE

I negate my very existence.

Till date, serving you 

Rolls of betel leaves of approval

In dish of demeanor

They were meant to 

Prove false 

Your negation.

 

If you deem these 

As your personal attainments 

Then, I will only declare 

Don't nurture concept that 

I am your mirror. 


I confess my own existence

Till now, I had pressed flying pages of your life

Under the paper-weight of reality

To avoid scattering.

 

If you deem it as

Greatness of your accomplishments  

Then, I will assert this much only

Don't misunderstand me as your advertisement. 

 

 

2.  I GET MYSELF STUNG 

I get myself stung

By huge snakes

So that  they 

Get emancipated 

( Though only momentarily)

 From their venom.


With the wish that 

Some part of my ambrosia

Reaches throat of their

Upcoming generation too.


May be it secures change 

In their coming generation 

And they transform into venom less beings

 Full of ambrosia.
