But Kill the Poet

Dr. Sudhansu Dash

Come forward, who have a courage

Kill the poet

Throw his body to the beyond of everybody

The first enemy to us

The slightest vibration of his words

Creates a revolution in body and mind

The ego shakes and broken into pieces

Flies away the cosmos in his noiseless breathing

Comes a storm in the kernel in his sinless voice

Choke his throat, his writes

Burn all his words to ashes

Turn all his blood frozen and all his appeals merge into infinity

But, be careful

While killing him

Let not his blood fall on the ground

If so, unearth the soil that carries the blood undigested

Break into pieces all his insides.

He has made us naked before all

Made us helpless before ourselves to see more than

What we are

Making our blood his ink

Making our passions his property

O poet,

You are the culprit

You have forced the warmth of beauty of the moon light

To land on the dangerous earth

With a passion to search

‘What is is is’ and ‘what is-not is is-not’.
