The eleventh direction

In the name of shruti and smriti
the shastras
you pierced our meditating heads
and took away our artist thumbs in gurudakshina.
You insulted and disregarded
our self-pride
you made us deaf, dumb, blind and disabled
and chanted the richas,
‘Humans are the best.’
In the last war of life
there would be sandy cyclones blowing around
all the conspiracies will be out
and so many camels of desires of life
will be buried alive in the dunes.
And then the desert will be blind
in all ten directions
and the kurukshetra will spread and spread
towards the eleventh direction.
