The chimneys around my home
print black spots on the walls
darken the air I breathe and
the water I drink or bathe in
the owners know how to shut
the mouths of inspectors
and the mafia know how
to make money this season
politics of lack of rain
repair and management
scraunch smoke from wildfires away
to country’s gas emissions
they have their priorities
mission to rewrite histories
erase the past and erect
new walls of divisions
climate change is no excuse
to mould the minds of Gen-Z
in face of imminent doom:
stay quiet at morass of loss

foggy morning
choke humans and animals
icy darkness
around fire on the roadside
they smoke bidi with chai

My poem NOISES appears on Edge of Humanity, 27 February 2024:
I can’t hear my self
their noises erase my world
choices are denied-
questions of being wound me
courage and strength fade away
noises mute my voice
distract us from the truth
crowns change with the wind
and they play chess with our lives
they feed us dust and potions
in their new temples
arouse their magic deities
make us yell loud
and hang us upside down.

Unchanged human nature
eternity passed with each prophet
spirit’s realms in rumbles…
how to search peace in depths of tunnels
through misery and degradation?
A sick generation
till elimination they won’t stop
for lasting peace they say they kill
unaware they too may become dust
in the catastrophe they have wrought.
Cursed Gaza awaits
a miracle to rise a new phoenix
to exist with Israel
despite the devil’s designs
for perpetual desolation.
