A SURREALIST PAINTING

Exercise,

Quite simple,

Upwards you look,

Watch the multi-storied structures

Of avarice, greed and selfishness

in perpetual race to hit the skies

big cats, big fish, big guns -

cocks and hens driving down

the serpentine paths

searching broiler chickens.

Look straight,

For a split-second,

Downwards you look,

Watch the

Surrealist paintings of,

Poverty, hunger and starvation

Even deaths,

Crawling pictures of

Helpless, hapless.

Look straight

Around you look,

watch the montage of

Selfishness and selflessness, dreams and ambitions,

Relentless struggles for existence,

Chains of poverty, hunger and starvation,

To be unshackled.

Repeat the exercise,

Once, twice or thrice,

if needed repeatedly.  

Simple,

Quite simple

The exercise

Keep fit both the

Body and mind
