‘We have come to the utmost position of the development.’- The evening with the ruction. (May go far the camel without cactus.) The owl looks at the watch and finds a watch dozing at the square With rushing vehicles and advertisements And then the come-hither in the moribund city. (The city has been a rubber stamp of the robust canker.) And gets tapped and trapped a lone womb in the seminar hall. And after that gets glorified white fluid.. white fluid…white fluid. Yet Swims, no doubt, the vendetta in the slurred utterance. Yet The cruel significant of technology in the basement shows on its broken teeth. And at the threshold cries the petal of a white rose. (The morning is too obscure to identify the wrinkles of the bastard.) ‘And there will be no ending of the flow of dry corpses.’ Thinking so throws the last sign of cancer in the air Satan. Is there no comeuppance since then? Have you met any of it in the chained rendezvous? About the author:
Partha Sarkar, a resident of Ichapur, a small town of a province West Bengal Of India, is a graduate who writes poems inspired by the late Sankar Sarkar and his friends (especially Deb kumar Khan) to protest against the social injustice and crimes against nature. His poems have been in different magazines both in Bangla and in English. Once, he would believe in revolution but now he is confused because of the obscurity of human beings, though he keeps fire in soul despite.

I’m tired of all the prayers and the apologies People who care tell me I need to stop apologizing, but for once—-I am Not The One Apologizing. Not apologizing for my existence, as one of my close friends always tells me. Stop apologizing for existing. But, how can I stop when everyone seems to want to tell me that they are sorry for me? I don’t want your prayers or your ‘fake apologies’, because “the world doesn’t end, it just feels like it does.” I don’t know who I’m supposed to be when everyone keeps using their teacher pointer-finger to tell me that something is wrong with my body. My entire life, my own father asked me what was wrong with me, but not because he cared. I stopped having an answer to give people whenever they asked me this. When will people stop pointing their finger At Me? I’m not a circus attraction, I’m a human being. You’re sorry that this ‘happened’ to me? If someone else tells me this, I will fucking flee! I’m tired of the fake sympathy and the fake apologies. I’m tired of the unrealistic optimism—the unrealistic words that “maybe you will outgrow it. Sometimes if you are diagnosed when you are younger, you will outgrow it by the time you are old.” Just stop. Just fucking stop. Just stop with the stares, the prayers, and the apologies. I’ve expected the mourning of my own body, so why can’t you? Why do you feel the need to heal me? I don’t want to be healed and I didn’t ask for it. "But, does the world really end? They say it just feels like it does. But, would I actually rather be me?" Who is this version of me that everyone else sees? Who is she? Quotations in italics taken from the song, "I'd Rather Be Me', from the Mean Girls Musical.
