RE: <<<i think, therefore i'm damned>>> ANOTHER ATLAS You're insane - Mamma said Took me to a doctor Does it hurt ? Yes doctor, the unanswered q's, the ignorance, the inability to express I'm inarticulate and it hurts. Where? Down there where the soul is. Then go consult a shoemaker - scram ! A paranoid - physicians refuse to diagnose My friend - a psychiatrist Shoot - he orders I try to think incoherently and succeed in confusing the issues. i ? born to do my duty ? you got to be kidding doctor ! The personal pronoun "i", so important But is it really ? I am ! Would it have mattered if I had not been ? Would it have mattered had I been born to destroy if not create and regenerate ? All that is truth evades me What and why - the fundamentals of how Do we exist merely to eat, drink, sleep And reproduce ? To grow like vegetables - potatoes and pumpkins like animals - cockroaches and earhworms No realisation doctor, no awareness - of being, living, seeing, growing feeling Why ? Or aren't there any left - the feelings I mean What is wanting ? A senseless chase, running after FOr what ? Why ? To hold the sky in my fist and get wounded on the rebound ? How doctor ? Listen, he barks, You're off your rocker Hands seize,I'm bound With no hopes of eternal freedom eternally Another Atlas destined to bear all alone the crushing load of my awareness...... -------- M Sameer (1982)
