Cruel island :

12-midnight I stood by

waiting for the last trip to Churchgate

a young girl in fear

the raw news has made her fear

where is the man in khaki?

by then the local arrived

and sped, wasting no man’s time

beyond Charni Rd. two hooker

trying to survive in this world

how cruel,if they don’t earn tonight]

god will not come down and pay their bills

so the same, another ‘Indian dream’.

The street is empty, though neon shines my way home

Besides the road in his sweetest crude dream

the beggar dreamt.

The dear child humbly begged

With a little will to survive

And the hungry street dog:

How painful it is, as the dying dog wails

And call the almighty

Anyone to save soul?

What heart is without love,

No such soil sympathy

With this little, million hungry

Cruel island, god made it

In this perfect imperfected world

Without money I fail to wear a smile.

In this cruel island

Dear me, I wish I was not one.

where have all the patriots gone?
