I am no ordinary man
I am THE KING
Immortal to the core, regal to the definition
Engrossed in a hunt , I draw blood at ease
Lofty heights I have ascended, in my pursuit of peace
I am no ordinary man
I am the HIMALAYAS
Looking down upon the commonplace treads of men
Meditating my will upon inferiors, I cause avalanches
Weak minded natural forces, but plegde their allegiances
I am no ordinary man
I am THE PACIFIC
Engulfing wishes and aspirations with watery muscle
Waves upon waves I govern, I bring about tsunamis
Flaunting bravado beneath tranquil skies , despite the turmoils that exists
I am no ordinary man
I am SATAN
Enticing your unadultered minds into temptation
Creating illusion of faith, i command souls and free will to abject damnation
Stark naked truths have i burned away, in my establishment of destruction.
I am no ordinary man
I am GOD
Causing pain to you in unimaginable ways
Propagating the false assurance of religion, I create hoards of piety driven zombies
Encompassing men within the Ten Commandments, boundaries and creed of celibacies
Or perhaps an ordinary man is all I am
Slashing jugulars and shooting innocent men is what I revel in
Obsessive and Schiophrenic, I cast pall shadows of persitent ignominy
Noboby cares for my existence, I am a rug for all they care
The police sirens ring like death knells, Cornered to the point of no return
The final slash justifies the means, (..blood..) finally cleanses my aches
The world falls silent around me, even the death bells aren't heard anymore
So dies an ordinary man... or maybe I am THE KING.

ReplyDeletewhy so serious ???? really dark poem ....enjoyed the metaphors ....nice change of style from the angelic storyteller to the grim reaper. you should give it for publication in our coll magazine so that all of posterity can delve deep into the dark side of ur mind
ReplyDeletereally giving jack the ripper and Anthony Hopkins(silence of the lambs) a run for their money .....
ReplyDeleteThis is sheer brilliance!
ReplyDeleteI love the visual lines you've tried to etch, the concluding stanza bears a matted contrast wit the rest of the piece, and I like that.
Nice!
excellent thoughts sanky...
ReplyDeletereally sounded good to the ears...good connection of words making me imagine the whole scenario behind and enjoying the writings within.
@ anjan- thnx dude,, and i was always dark ,, just a few put on moments of good forced those "angelic words" as you told. and yeah use em for the mag, would be honoured.. really
ReplyDelete@ cindy- coming from you thats huge.. thanks.... waiting for your next piece.. and that post about the irksome twosome was hillarious..
ReplyDelete@ PD- it made you imagine?? that's a bazinga if ever there was one....
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about the piece is its visual crispness,a classical lyrics played over contemporary thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThat makes the audience just larger to identify with.And the title sure comes as a stunner to reveal.
Keep on.
@ pru- yeah yeah..... we all have had em,, visually crisp ramblings, eh :P
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you that's very kind of you! I am kind of working on one post, will upload it soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I repeat, you should write more often.
@ cind- gr8, waitin for it.
ReplyDeleteand about writing more often.. i will do so now that my engg career is nearly over..
to me it seems like the doodles and the rambles of an obsessive dream.Pink Floyd would have been proud of you or maybe even would've hired you.the part that surely enticed me was the end.eventhough you're dying,but, are still delving in two worlds.TO misquote Pink,"All in All,it's not just;Another Brick in the wall".
