Prof. Ram’s poem explores an entity perceived as nearly dangerous,
an outsider blamed for self-inflicted suffering, seeking to erase their
impact for peace, for Different Truths.
It’s near but every place has a distance and people too
they flee to see me in their vicinity sense a danger
I don’t belong: they curse me for what I’m not self-made misery
traps them in hell I can’t help their doom nor stop their wanton rage
down to smallness they hate only themselves and sculpt new sorrows
I must erase the debris of dreams they leave and be at peace
