The silent soliloquy on campus politics:The Trailer

For ages and centuries my autobiographical musing fused with fictional poetic prose , the project which began when I was gang-raped by illiterates in academic corridor has been in a state of suspended animation and I am now compiling the notes.
To remain silent when the heart is brimming over with protest because it is prudent; and to speak only when the moment seems opportune- that is not my way, a statement by some one adequately captures my spirit and soul.

The monograph under preparation is a collection of poems written under mild recession of mind to depict the predicament of simple barely politicised individuals with breathtaking concision and humanity.
Being disgusted with frustrating experience on the campus he decides to write a slew of poems before he meets the Director of enforcement at the destined hour.
It is a moving tale of humble lives lived under frugal life eating beans , caught up in the vortex of inimical social forces entrenched in academic backwardness in the pleasant company a stupid boss who can only utter paradigm like a parrot.
The protoganist confronts the chasm between the two warring groups and nobody desrved his love , he ruminate s.There is no neat narrative structure or any kind of sensational subtle or startling shift in story line, but only a wet sense of humour pervades all through to enjoy belly laughter.
He is surprisingly happy to note that while writing in English he experiences a kind of floating sensation of freedom and flexibility  which he normally  experiences in his native language Tamil...

How is it that the Bad drives away the good and foul becomes Fair

Looking around we see, there are many mean creatures
Soaked in dirt, filth, criminality and venality,and 
That their  scant intelligence and capabilities
bear no correlation with their high profile life,
enjoying the best of everything by all the 
Fradulent means under the sun and neatly
Networked relationship in politics and business.

How can you explain these special tribes flourishing
And getting all the riches and recognition,
Being catapulted to power, wealth and extraordinary heights in exalted offices,
A kind of From rags to riches story..

Does fortune favour the crooks and wicked ,
Breaking through the roof by karmic effects
Or manipulation of the lever of power
Oh God ,why is that the brutally honest and good
Endowed with intelligence and hard work get
Beaten mercilessly, deprived of all the 
Simplest pleasures of life ,
Luck not smiling on them,
Invisible forces not helping them

God is bewildered and bemused to answer this
Question, mother of all questions.
He says:
Sorry, honestly I do not know, my dear
They need to be researced seriously and 
Thoroughly investigated and also thought of.
