Plasmolyzed

A Poem by Satish Verma
"

This was a troubling concept─ to start a dress rehearsal,

"
This was a troubling concept�"� 
to start a dress rehearsal, 
of ethnic cleansing. 

Something pokes out�"� 
on the tail end of the story. 
There was no heart in the game. 

You are driven like a�"� 
flock of sheep. The shepherd 
lives in the fortress of slogans. 

A placebo effect was quite- 
evident. Everybody was 
drunk on sugar pills. 

Unadulterated, the swearing�"� 
had become genetic. You start 
walking on the burning coals.
