“We stole the sky from
the birds, with clouds
that cache fly ash
from the coal.

Spoiled the waters
with spilled oil,
now the fish wish
to live in a bowl.

Beheaded the trees
in the name of growth;
concrete roads erode
the soil from its soul.

Poached and piled animals
like wild animals, and
forgot to realize the rise
in their death toll.

Flogged the icebergs down
with the whip of heat,
and rang hell's bells
from pole to pole.

We are already sinners
against nature, is reaching
the sinners by nature stature
our ultimate goal?”
Akash Mandal

“I avoid making eye-contact
it compels me to interact
every time when they ask
like some customary task
I tell them that I'm fine
another pre-recorded line
seems much easier to lie
than to explain them why
cos by the end of the day
they'll all forget anyway
but I'll feel like a fool
for not playing it cool.”
Akash Mandal

“November Haiku:
No good November
lays a red carpet of leaves
rains on its parade.”
Akash Mandal

“Friday Haiku:

Friday is always
four days late, but brings me beer,
so we stay even.”
Akash Mandal

“The docile doves have
been mocked enough,
by the darting drones
that are built to snuff;
and the olive branches
have been dripping red,
ever since we put our faith,
in capsules of lead.

At a time, when we
need open libraries,
the governments are
plotting robotic militaries.
and for how long should
our nations linger in fear,
from the day-to-day threats
of dropping nuclear.

Every time we wear our
remembrance poppies,
remember, that our heroes
died hoping for peace;
and lest we rise above
the hemlocks of war,
the flowers of mercy, will
remain covered in gore.

Violence has a domino effect,
only triggers more hate,
won't stop unless we make
an effort to communicate;
and since the future is
indeed today's derivative,
it's high time that we changed,
this dystopian narrative.”
Akash Mandal
