INSANE SUBJECTS AND THE SANE OTHERS

By Aswathi Prasanth

Most lose sanity

Not at birth, the beginning

But in the middle

The loss does not end,

Even by their end,

Most often eternal it is...

At least the labels

Genetics does not have much to do

Heredity too...

Most often it is the gift of 'Others'

It must be the rare occasions

Where 'Others' become the 'Subjects'

And 'Subjects' become the 'Other'

It must be the rare occasions

Where 'Others' become active

And 'Subjects' become passive

This is a cruel revision of 'sane binaries'

You be cruel

You be deaf

You be dumb

You be indifferent

You keep a day with 'generosity'

A moment so ceremonious

Unknown to those 'Subjects'

And You safely remain the 'Other'
