Cultural Topsy Turvy

Cultural Topsy Turvy

A Poem by Kuma Raj Subedi

If breathing is living
Yes we are-
Breathing in comma
Ascending the shadow of grief-mountains

If watching is loving
Yes we are-
Watching the beautiful turn ugly
On the red carpet of treatise on sex

If smiling is happiness
Yes we are-
Grinning the hatred giggles
In images and emojis of virtual life

If self-talk is considered social
Yes we are-
Clicking like buttons, and sharing
Insurmountable garbage information
In the unsociable social digital-trap

If joining hands is helping
Yes we are-
Making a gesture of it
For the sake of framing a digital image
Rupturing trust and confidence of victims

If bulldozing signifies a stage of development
Yes we are-
Bulldozing the cultural heritage
To erect skyscrapers and watch towers
To watch the doomsday lurking in the shadow
