Let's talk, man to man

Image: Ujala Chowdhry

I am unruly, I am un-inhibited, I am naked

I am the pre-historic man

No one has seen my face

You may only know me from my bones

But I existed, very much so

Like you and your hoe

I know you are dying to meet me

Dying to ask questions 

And strip me more than I already am

I am glad and too proud

To still be an undocumented man

You don't know my struggles

You think there was peace

Little do you know about my daily routine

If you did, you wouldn't dare to travel back

Just stay where you are

In your own time

Live your fucking life…

Evolution made you heroes

And greediest of them all

Your city lights are blinding me

Your sky invasions are worrying me

Your industries are choking me

But I guess it is necessary

I came here to tell you my story

I am no divine soul

I am just as evil as you

We, as a species, are inherently invasive  

I invaded the uncovered vaginas

And the desserts, mountains, and savannahs  

The only erections then

Were seen on a male’s groin

Or a female’s bosoms

You think there was equality

But there was hardly a society

There weren’t any terms

But if there were

Then I too raped 

And did all the things you consider a taboo

You have a society

And a grand order

Someone to complain to

Concrete private walls to confide into

Animals dying to become your meals

But your females are too coward

They don't fight back

Young ones are weak

They aren't as feisty as our own

I come from a pre-historic time

Where actions rarely had repercussions

But that was my time

This is yours

Don’t invade mine

Else I will fuck yours…
