INFINITESIMALLY SCALED PEOPLE

Infinitesimally scaled people

Of the forgotten planet

Pitter patter the surface of their planet.

Almost atomic in demeanor!

Though bulldozered many times over.

They mutilate, bleed,

Their infected flesh ooze with green.

Infinitesimally scaled people

Of the forgotten planet,

Live their lives

Scavenging from the

Garbage Bins.

Infinitesimally scaled people

Of the forgotten planet

Look upon the vaulted sky and

Pray

To be remembered!

Once in a while,

perhaps

On their national remembrance day!

Infinitesimally scaled people

Of the forgotten planet

Cry real tears like us human beings!

Their offspring are reared on mother’s milk.

The floor under their feet creaks;

Unfamiliarity creeps into their existence!

So they freak and hit the streets

Living on the cardboard scraps again!

They shave and shower on the streets!

Infinitesimally scaled people

Of forgotten planet

Inject  themselves with opium like

Substances!

Sometimes they trip and sometimes they expire!..
