Divide and rule
you could make a fool
a lovely tool.

Division is arithmetical method
one belongs to the family of calculation
along with its siblings of increase and decrease
be one of multiplication and addition in the progression
subtraction and division in the diminution
reminders would be there in most
while the rest would be a perfect property
the calculation works through all factors
be it in simple arithmetic as in schools
be it in the division of lands of estates
be it in the partition of properties movable and immovable
be it in the division of labour in a macro level
be it in the divide and rule policy
where the most you divide the most powerful you turn
an administrative technique followed from time immemorial
by the governments, rich and politicians as well
engage in a division and go across with exultant power
only so far goes my deliberation of “division”.
None can win over
what would you ask?
even the cleverest would not
succeed to win over
what is that you ask?
not the fastest would
be able to win over
what again you would ask?
the luckiest would not
be able to win over
what could it be you ask?
going right and left
strolling round and round
I knit my brows looking at you
have you not got it?
my turn to ask
It is destiny that is unconquerable
that is invincible and all powerful.
it is a wake-up
sudden and quick
want to get out of bed
why in a hurry?
I know not.
it is a wake- up
after a long deliberation
the awareness is slow
want to get out of the dream
not in a hurry
I know not.
it is a wake-up
after a collapse
the recovery is dead slow
want to get out to regain memory
very much in a haste
I know not.
Sleep eludes
It used to delude
now it escapes
it used to engulf
now it procrastinates
it used to hasten
now it is not the case
it was once in a chase
well, there is a difference
great and small in reference
I like to sleep now.
it eludes, I do not know.
