Nice depiction of loss of sensibilities towards animals. Its so strange due to our encroachments over their areas monkeys being helpless come to the city areas to look for food and shelter .What an injustice? Sad they cannot even claim for the property that the humans have stolen or grabbed from them. Hypocrits are bothered only about their selfish motives and exploit nature, animals and women to whatever extent they can. We only know to debate on issues but don't actually act towards protection of animals. Nice poem to create awareness. Congrats.

Good take on monkey business... and indeed, a powerful satire on the mismanagement that suits well to the present political conditions .

A poignant poem on the insensitivity of the society to individual suffering and trauma!

This is perhaps one of the best poetry giving vent to social apathy and cynicism on the part of an individual who terribly feels wounded in a given situation.Thanks for the composition

Yes, ..... We did.
But I am glad that you made me remember.
Of spring ...Of summer ... Of Fall ....Of winter.
There was all
A compete Year ..lost and fulfilled.

TO:Mr.Rajender Krishan
On the occasion of death of your beloved dog you wrote a poem and some correspondent made a very illuminating remark -
"There is no difference between love of GOD and love of DOG"
Can 'Monkey' be added to list, or for that matter the entire animal world not excluding humans? Rajendra-ji, you have a very sensitive mind towards tragedy of all living beings on earth where many, including myself, have a mental block to be sufficiently compassionate with the ailing ones.

A very apt description of the contemporary society through startling phrases and new images---vintage Rajenderji.

A poem full of wisdom. A sad reflection on society.

The last stanza is superb. It hits straight at the bulls eye.

Very insightful indeed!

It goes to prove that sometimes, simple gestures of solace from too caring elders through their well meant awkward gestures are worse than the wounds. See wonderful irony there in your apt vocabulary. Kudos.

SENSITIVELY AND PRECISELY DEPICTED THE AGONY OF HUMANITY...
In spite of sophisticated means of communication; the humanity in the depth of hearts (disunited, scattered), is still left in agony; deprived of the panacea NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, SIMARAN, SUMIRAN; i.e. remembering the true self); and holistic expression and assertion; realize holistic renaissance.

Happily, marrily
goes a man
caught by police
put him in jail
cries and cries
no justice
man lingers
but inglorious police
man but gives up
washes hand to
die for what
and why?
G to answer!

A tragic fall! Good satire!

The monkey is man!
Watch the words:
"societal group
of the lawless ..."
"thronged with anxious concerns"
"eagerly enquiring:
What, How, Why, Where?
Totally apathetic to his agony"
"....interrogative stabs
of the social carnage"
....
"succumbed not by the fall,
but by the gaucherie of the reckless doyens"
Excellent!

I remember the antics of Dr. Manmohan Singh and the UPA people after reading your satirical poem. They are evading the corruption issues in the same way... nice satirical subtext
