Why to censor

The world is one.
One can go anywhere
as per sweetwill.
Why to censor?

It is the right of
everybody to express
views and news.
Why to censor?

One can eat drink
walk sleep as per
his conveniences
Why to censor?

Awareness Notes... (Part Two)

it's not the bullet that killed
the man... bullets by themselves
are harmless. it is the intent
of the man that loads the gun,
that points the barrel, and pulls
the trigger.
it is also the inactions of the
people who knew his anger, and of
the system that allowed him the gun.
the apathy of those who didnt get
involved, and the moral code that
fed his anger
but taking the gun away doesnt solve
the problem. an angry man will pick up
a stick, or a knife, or even rocks,
to act out his anger.
to disarm the angry you have to remove
their anger, and that begins with getting
to the cause. the cause must be met, and
dealt with.
you must repace the 'moral code' of retribution
with the code of compassionate forgiveness.
human justice begins and ends in the heart.
you have to get involved!

Boycott

All that there is to boycott.
And with a doing of it too.
People for some reason.
Refuse to boycott against ignorance.
Or their acceptance of disrespect,
Not to mention a lack of discipline.
Many feel would intrude,
Upon their rights of entitlement.
But truth as it is spoken.
Offends those who defend,
An anxiousness to censor anything.
That hints to remove them from delusion.

Spare Manu

Manu Sastre, the moral code, laid down By Manu, though outdated by time gone,
Still stands worthy of many codes drawn
And is not wise to be thrown out outrightly.
Each set of codes is set to govern a sect
Conditioned by life of the coder’s time,
With no right bequeathed to latter sects
To condemn the coder for the codes set.
The theory propounded by the scientists
Are being replaced by the successors
Without any attack on the former. Mind.

Spare Manu

[Manu has written a moral code for Hindus more than thousand years back, some of which are controversially objected now}

A censor is an expert in cutting remarks. A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.

A statement about art & friendship

It is the friendship that she carries well
On summer day

In the writing workshop
She wins their hearts

When she is asked to read her poems
Or say, show her masterpiece

She merely smiles
Her friendship is her piece her only masterpiece

Her smile is her only word written on
Her face

And they all say it is enough
A smile can save the world

But I beg to disagree
A smile cannot save me

Last night i wrote a poem written
With my blood as ink on my face

The angst on my crumpled paper
And they ask me to read my poem

This afternoon when everyone
Is tired and irritated

My turn, I think, I decide to give them my smile
Like her friendship, my compromise

I get their approval and I think
It is her friendship that kills

Literature that suppressed art
It started with Mona Lisa, now it

Will always be, perhaps, the scream
Must die, popularity does not like it.

I know I have to cry alone
In my room and make my own kind of literature.

Someday the world may find it and love it
Sorrow is suppressed and happiness is fabricated

Friendship has always been politics
And art is hidden in compromises

Only to come out later and too late
The people will say, “we all love this one! ”

For the couple to move closer

When he offends his kin,
His wife must defend them.
When she offends her kin,
Her spouse must defend them
Then both will move closer.

To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.

Given the devaluation of literature and of the study of foreign languages per se in the United States, as well as the preponderance of theory over text in graduate literature studies, creative writing programs keep literature courses populated.

I would point out that the cultural advance of these people has been suppressed in the past and continues to be suppressed in the present by policies designed to keep them in ignorance.

Modern sociology is virtually an attempt to take up the larger program of social analysis and interpretation which was implicit in Adam Smith's moral philosophy, but which was suppressed for a century by prevailing interest in the technique of the production of wealth.

Noting that Huckleberry Finn was originally both valued and reviled because it shows the reader that the accepted moral code and social hierarchy is not always correct.

Literature I Loved

LITERATURE I LOVED

Literature I loved-
Reading gave new lives and new worlds-
Experience enriched beyond
What I could have ever have imagined alone-

The pleasure and joy of it
The discovery the adventure-

Literature I loved
And Life greater because of it.

Pestilence Hortative

Dirty deck was always
stacked against one.
Even losing haggard moral
unesteemed victory was won.

Worthless heartless soulless being
out strives ostracized otiose bum.
Upward struggling parrying patchily
life’s jagged razor-race edge is run.

Marked deck was always unethical
stacked against honourable singular one.
Man race erasing earth code moral
unbalanced industrial victory patchily won.

Oh The Poems

OH THE POEMS AND THE POEMS AND THE POEMS

Oh the poems and the poems and the poems
Oh the love of Literature
Oh all that stuff
I have given my life to-
Words and meanings and feelings
Pages and pages and pages –

What it is all this literary life for?
When out the window out the door
With our eyes we see in an instant other worlds other dreams?

I don’t know and I will never know
And Literature is certainly far more than I can say it is-

Oh the poems and this poem and this day turning grey
And all my life old and old and more old and more old-

Oh why oh why oh why
And always back to God
My last rescue and refuge and escape
I who have read so much Great Literature
And can only write this-

Oh the why and the oh oh oh and the words
And the whole world of Literature
I would belong to and do not.
Oh the words oh the world oh the Literature
Oh God help me please can’t you please help me a little or not?
