send me back in time
to kill all perpetrators
of victim abuse
hunger to feel sane
learn logic to order thoughts
philosophy frames
events in context
perspective, studies in art
lines of focal points
transcend the darkness
unhappy childhood at home
meaning lost, no truce
how the war begins
with a clear declaration
end hostility
engage all parties
allies or antagonists
axis powers shames
notable systems
of overwhelming duress
finance broken joints
capture enemies
execute, leave for the wolves
history, my past
understand brother
to do no harm, a belief
in futility
transcend the absurd
within decisive action
flee stupidity
obliged to duty
keep in touch, no eye contact
the drishti you fear
for I am nazar
the evil eye who observes
pellucidity
forget your hamsa
more evil than ha-satan
for your life may veer
misdirected, try
to steer it right, clear off-course
you find your net cast
yolk stuck to your face
I blow away butterflies
their wings create change
leave the left-hand path
you belong with the vipers
in church, as they pray
enter the sanctum
in the presence of safety
where I cannot go
forge a bond in fire
for you made me what I am
a sword, warped and strange
to whom do I owe
the pleasure to be alive
my birth in Bombay
hold my hand, brother
watch that it doesn't fall off
keep them just for show
argue with mother
better laugh at the devil
with ears out of range
no point to this life
a foreigner treated so
they say what they say
demons of the street
this city deluded lies
with the blackheart crow
