UNTITLED

Fantasy creates its palaces
Memory its forts
Usually palaces are in forts
Security reasons

Breathing a breeze may not
Make us Ozymandias or
Mumtaaz Mahal in mirror or
Nefertiti in waiting

It is just an act beyond
Decisions and/or manipulations
It is an act of living itself
Against the rights, wrong and
the Just

It is that small, ordinary, normal, nothing

This lone tiny moment of filling your lungs
Independent of anything else
Stands against all wars of
Proving and possessing
Conquests and campaigns
Cacophony and promises

Against the cancerous growth of
Nuclear stockpiles and no-first-use treaties

Exhale into this
Very next moment
