Flawless, a poem by Abhinav Aradhi
Trouble in
paradise,
But is the
paradise even real?
What
constitutes a land of perfection,
Without a
flaw in the flowers?
Is it the
denizens,
With their
bright-eyed smiles,
And their
vapid greetings,
Like
ventriloquist’s dummies operating autonomously?
Or is it
the land,
With soil
like the wind,
Grazing the
crops with vigor,
Like a
tiger caged within?
What if
there is no paradise,
Because
perfection does not exist either?
What if all
the world’s a ploy,
By some
wicked schemer?
