“Unveiling Desire: Ananya S. Guha’s Poignant Exploration of Want in Verse”
In a world where the struggles of existence often echo through the verses of poets, it’s hard not to feel the profound weight captured in the lines that follow. The haunting imagery of gaunt faces and impoverished lives paints a gritty portrait of our times—cries for justice tangled within a web of disillusionment and stark realities. You’ve got to ask yourself, is humanity caught in a never-ending cycle of want, or are we simply missing the bigger picture? This poem, with its rhythmic discontent, invites us to reflect on the dichotomies of our societal clashes—the bullies and the sulky, the pleas for peace faced with military posturing. It’s raw, it’s real, and it resonates. So, buckle up as we dive into these powerful lines that encapsulate not just personal grief but a collective outcry of our age. LEARN MORE.
Wherever you go
the sparring want
the dubious jaunt
faces gaunt
poverty impoverished
not ever to be replenished
we cry, we protest
Is this all a test
not far are gallows
in eyes that are hollow
a country burns, another
turns impostor
one is pleading,
the other misleading
one is a bully
the other sulky
one wants doles
another picks holes
one says disarmament
the other says missile
come we all imbecile, docile
we know that wherever we
go there is the ranting want.
