Start It Today

If I start it today,

If I start it today,

I will be my audience.

To follow my orders,

To follow my orders,

I will be my leader.

I will be my worship,

Of million hearts, tomorrow….

Today, sleeping within me

In infinite humantown.

Reason to Change

If you need to do something, then do something….

Change the curve through which you walk

Change it at all instants

Till you become a  verb within.

Inner city of  ambitious daylight

Is there to start the change

A change to mark a revolution…

First within, then

Before million eyes

Waiting for the moment

To cheer.

By Samij Datta, Poet, Painter, Writer.

Mann Ist Mann (2008)

Man is there

To worship man

Man is there

To pray for man

Man is there

To tell man

Mann ist mann.

Be Simple

The big things are done in a small way

The complex is truly simple

Air is the water

And the fire is the ether

In our earth of equanimity.

If you stay in the black

Black light of blind vision

You better

Donate the eyes,

The earth gave to you.

If you can’t hear,

The cry of time

If you can’t hear,

The thirst of space….

You better

Die to born again.

Like a flower

Be the natural species

Of simple rhythm.

Motion

Life is walk

A flower, not fear

A river, not solid

A fluid which flies

A resident

Of the town named motion.

We Are Not New

Insanity is bliss

Rational being is dead

Irrational a higher rational

Reason is not a closed chamber

A bird with a wish to fly

Over the rocks inseparable.

Sick thoughts sick

We need new fever

We need the old in new

We are not new.

By Samij Datta, Writer, Poet, Painter.

Food

Old configurations seek

New quanta of speech

A deliberate speed

To rise against

The illusions of time

Action comes at need

Action comes at need

To provide the living bread

Jesus

Food is the god of man.

Literature

Of the street,

By the street,

For the street,

Literature

Spirit to come down

Settle, sedimentary,

Sublime…

Metamorphosed breed

Of language

To purify the ashes

Of Knowledge

Lying dormant.

Be active, awake, bold…

Literature, a spirit

Is not cold.

A warmth of man

A heart of truth

A passion, a rebel

To time.

By Samij Datta, Poet, Writer, Fluxist.

Alula

Alula is a triangle,

Of graces green

Invisible to the eye

A stone is a stone

Patience is the queen

Of Fractal field

Wild in nature

To be tamed

Before sunrise.

Burning

Today is tuesday

Winter on its wings

Leaving my town

For a long long destiny

I see the fire

I see the fire

Calcutta burning

White lilies

Upon my breast

Invokes the blues

Once sung by me

Will be sung again

In the poor hearts

Rich in divinity.

By Samij Datta, Poet, Writer, Fluxist.
