O.P.Bhatnagar's Cooling Flames Of Darkness

O.P.Bhatnagar's Cooling Flames of Darkness Which saw the light of the day In 2001 Includes in The Turn of The Century As the first poem To begin in an ironical way Is to talk of the split and divided self, Torn beyond repair. What creatures are we the human beings As we have lost divine innocence Is the thing Of the poem, Song of Innocents, Where he opines about The loss of the appetite And the vision of innocence Which we used to be endowed with. Again, consolidating his base, he turns to The ravaged children of the ravaged times After marking the war-torn countries, Engaged in warfare and militancy, With no pity in the heart To spare and speak of, How ruthless have we become, How mindless are these wars costing human lives! Risen Or Fallen, is the thing, he discusses In the poem of the name, When were we risen, When have we fallen, What did the foreigners do, What good had it been in them, But after attaining freedom, Still needs to be done? The poem, Beauty Queening is all about The beauty contests and pageants, The florists and costume directors, The panelist judges and the jury Sitting and judging Mr. India, Miss India or Miss or Mr. World, Walk the ramp in fancy dresses, Bikini babes and beach girls?
