TURMOIL

TURMOIL
¼minzo& yhyk/kj txwMh+-English translation by GPBahuguna ½
Ah the winners! The winners of this time!
Is this whole lot of dying people aspiring to go
heaven?
Since they died as martyrs in their struggle
for boarding public transport,searching employment, looting ration shops,
Died for want of medicine and in pursuit of nonsense.
They finished ultimately in their own battles.
Does this phrase hold good for them also
"If you get killed you will go to heaven"
Ah the winners! The winners of this time!

The heaven should be in pandemonium now
With the explosion of dying population reaching there.
Can you tell me something about
The nervous souls living there?
One more question!
The empty hell must be in shambles now
It should have enough means left for one person to live in ?
Sufficient scope to raise a big wheat farm, park and a farm-house there?
I intend to apply for passport to Hell.
And you say why should I choose a turmoil ?

Ah the winners! The winners of this time!
There should be check on the rising popularity of death now
The hell should also feel growth.
This is a seat only and not a horizon to rise
to be watched by people and not pulled down at their will.
