A Good Chaos
written by: Akshaya Pawaskar
We revel in differences.
We are varied and beautiful.
We were born to juggle several languages
on our tongue.
We are numerous scents of Arabian souks,
the vivid colors of Indian bazaars,
unique only because we are
not copies, floating with
balloons of million dreams, not one alike,
billion fingerprints
as numberless as our stories
as countless as our fates,
bubbling thoughts
troubling faiths,
calming simplicity,
unnerving intellect,
all that we carry,
rage, laughter, sorrows,
so many loves,
like earth, air, water, fire,
we are all discrete and clashing,
all incomplete, meaningless
without dancing with the other.
Perhaps we have to uncondition
How about going back to the fetal caul,
unknowing the shades of skin,
unlearning the gender,
widening the girth of our brain,
span of our all-embracing arms.
Perhaps we need to be reborn
and find our own way,
a good chaos in
this order of dystopia.
