Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


Would you prefer to gruesomely die every moment waiting for peace to prevail in the ubiquitous atmosphere of salacious war; or would you prefer to die just once and  forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to ominously die every moment waiting for your love to come


back from the irrevocably ghastly grave; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to venomously die every moment waiting for the Sun of truth


to emerge from behind the blackness of this sadistically lambasting and lying planet today; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to inconsolably die every moment waiting for wretchedly asphyxiating politics to retract its poisonous claws from this prejudiced planet; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to bawdily die every moment waiting for priceless humanity


that would never rise above the mountain of meaningless currency notes; or


would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to torturously die every moment waiting for rainbows of


compassion to emanate from amidst never ending political crime games; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to unbearably die every moment waiting for the petals of


triumphant virginity to arise from this sinfully plundered and adulterated soil; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to cold-bloodedly die every moment waiting for beggars to


disappear in this world of eternally blood-sucking parasites; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to invidiously die every moment waiting for sacred wildlife


to perennially throb amidst the cannibalistically marauding human; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to lecherously die every moment waiting for your very own


impetuously angry child to call you father; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to salaciously die every moment waiting for victory; when


the ones you adored the most no longer existed; or would you prefer to die


just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to criminally die every moment waiting for the rain of prosperity to cascade from the clouds diabolically perpetuated with nuclear pellets; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to indescribably die every moment waiting for the inevitably everlasting curse of greed on mankind to subside; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to abhorrently die every moment waiting for tranquil shade


when virtually every tree on this earth had been indiscriminately massacred; 


or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to penuriously die every moment waiting for ignominiously


abashed crimes on mothers and women to timelessly cease; or would you prefer


to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to meaninglessly die every moment waiting for justice to


prevail irrespective of caste; creed; or status; in a society where the justice givers themselves were ghastily corrupt; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to deliriously die every moment waiting for those heartbeats of love which had already bonded with someone else; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


Would you prefer to acrimoniously die every moment waiting for the dance of


unity and equality amidst that same mankind which didn't even spare to spit upon its own mother; or would you prefer to die just once and forever after bodily death; instead? 


 


I don't know the slightest about you. But I'd prefer to die just once.
