FORGOTTEN ANCESTRY

Our wise ancestors
That hang from trees,
Primitive in their wisdom,
Don’t worry about the crashing rupee,
Free like the wind, all day they play,
No deadlines hanging around their neck,
They eat, they have no figure to maintain,
No ‘time’ in their world, they miss no appointment,
Nor worry about old age or death,
We the ones that carry civilization on our backs,
Hunch forward, break our necks and cover our bodies in guilt,
Supreme, We need curtains to do our daily deeds,
Yet, they don’t rape their women on the street
Not having bitten the fruit of sin,
Wise, they fornicate on the road

Without shame.
