I was not going to post this here. I initially did not mean to but circumstances often compels us to do things that we had previously decide against.But I have decided to post it today because of the following reason. It is because a certain rockstar who goes by the name of Rupam Islam has named his live recording studio Working Class Zero.
This is what I call a coincidence because a few monthsback just prior to the West Bengal Assembly election I was miffed! A sort of disappointed which I will not elaborate on ( I will discuss my political leanings later).
But today after listening to his new album Nishkraman, I have somewhat changed my opinion. No, the revolutionary spirit is yet to die down! Maybe to survive it has just camouflaged itself!
This few lines of (worthless) poetry has now lost its personal sting but it still applies to the general condition prevailing around us. Anyways here it goes, I present my Working Class Zero!
By the way, I wrote this when I was frustrated, angry and everything in between with this world! So some of this thoughts are hyperbolic and a lot of them are a product of my exaggerated imagination!And by the "wretched rhyme i am referring to John Lennon's Working Class Hero. And I don't consider it wretched.I call it so from the point of view of the Working Class Zero
So, NO offense to everyone! :) :D
"When the frustration begins to crush you down,
You see the working class hero frown.
There are times when he can not take it anymore.
You can't help but wonder where he kept his sorrows before!
Unfazed by the turmoils of his time,
He can no longer stand the wretched rhyme.
The rhyme, he had sung to keep him strong,
But the pain has been eating him all along.
We feel we have followed him in vain,
Would anyone have followed him that if men were not insane?
He has been beaten down many a times before,
But this is the last time for he cries, "No More! No More!"
Oh!The working class can't stand him anymore!
The working class hero is not a hero anymore!"
