POETRY OF THIRD WORLD

I am nobody, nobody at all

Just a cultivator of cotton belonging to third world

His youngest son

I have grown up by swallowing the froth of sea

On my burnt skin

There is printed the world-map all over the body

Hunger rises in spiral motion

Around my stomach

If you give me love, I’ll multiply it three times

By sheer magic

And put it under your feet

If you give me hatred, if you offend me

From my top to bottom

I’ll come back not to take revenge

But to my writing papers

And I will throw each of my poems,one after another

Just like daggers

Yes, all the boys of third world are just like this
