The Revolt of Rejection
A Poem by Rajendra Ojha (Nayan)
(Genre: Surrealism Poetry)
They say— I am a tiger with Down syndrome,
And Down syndrome deer you are too.
Let us rule this world!
I— descendant of Shigaruko, will share with you my neurotoxins,
In return, give me your precious hands and limbs.
In this way, we can exchange our worldly experiences!
I’ll act as if I am going to kill you brutally with no mercy,
You act like you are dying because of the injustice of this society.
In this way, we can capture everyone’s emotions!
I am a strong night owl,
And you are a genuine anti-owl.
Do you think we can ever do a couple dance?
I wish to create a new startup of this world ‘with the beauty of good things’,
You be the genuine manager to manage me.
Isn’t this the way to set a better example of bonding?
Like you, and all other souls like you,
I also feel abandoned by society.
Let us now make a separate society of our own!
Can the beings that are so-called as a ‘retarded’ ones,
Ever create their own society going out of mainstream society?
If yes, this would be the greatest revolution of all time!
