122 On a themeless artifact

On a themeless artifact( 122)


Why do they clamor for a theme less piece of poem?
Or fiction or writing, like “to be or not to be”?
a theme is as must as life for a body,
a cloth to cover the sense of shame,
a theme less is uncovered food exposed to flies,
it is tumbling along the staircase
to reach the tower, to capture to dizzy heights,
like we monopolize the whole universe,
a mad desire to achieve the impossible,
to abrogate the essentials of life,
to build up an empire of sands sans brick and lime.
A themeless is like a nomad drifting away
Aimless, unwilling to fit within the framework
