Guinea Pigs

Guinea Pigs
-----------------

We are like the caged Guinea Pigs!
We run and stare at the day.
We are born to die 
for the benifit of others!

In the tempest of ideologies
that incubated the revolutions,
We fought as the fist line of defence
and died as martyers.

During the dark ages
when the faith spat poisonous fumes,
We were made to march ahead
with the religious torch
and fed the enemies swords!

We killed ourselves
to test the annihilating weapons.

Crores of men
treading on this earth
are like Guinea Pigs;
They haven\'t seen
the light of truth,
They haven\'t enjoyed
peaceful life for a day!

We are enslaved
Our brain is filled with illusions,
We are locked in the
cells of modern culture!

Helplessly
we stare out,
There is no escape from this
steel bars!
We are only Guinea Pigs!

I am a rape victimWho survived to tell a tragic tale!I am a riverWho has been stripped beside the peaks!Those black rocks stood silentMighty elephants stared ,While the hounds of territorialising donsTore my clothes,Ate my flesh,Drank my blood,And barked aloud in mirth!Those brutes cut my fleshMade barriors with my bonesTo block my flowAnd create flood!They washed their dirtAnd made me black!I turned mad by seeing the colour of bloodDrained from the butchered martyers!They dragged me along the streets...Strage is the passiveAttitude of the intellectualsWho roared for their masters!Should I tore off my blouseFor you to discribe my feminine charm?Your great verse will describeThe ups, downs and curvesOf my body.You will exhibit my nackednessTo sell for attractive price!I can\'t respond, I can\'t cryAs my vigour has been drained!
