They are all there rooted deep

by Ashok Sharda



THEY are all there
Rooted deep
Occupying every bit
Playing hide and seek.

WATCH YOU ARE SLEEPING.

Every time
When you turn on the ever turned on
Self-operating-tape-recorder
Its one of THEM playing YOU.

Every time
You think its ‘ME’
Who is seeking
While THEY are hiding

Every time
As it proves to be
It’s THEM
Occupying every bit

Every time
THEY push you in a corner
Behind a curtain
Unsought.

We are all possessed. Possessed by each self created through each association ever experienced (I seem to remember this lesson from a very reliable source haha) I sigh to think how very long the chain is Ashok. Each and every chain, and there are so many...all those links, they almost seem never ending. But it takes that very realization of our horrific state of 'possession' to even begin to exorcise those unwanted demons. I can't believe it's taken me so long to read all these poems of yours. I'm happy I have finally dared the venture haha :-)
