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.
