THE DESOLATE STRETCHES OF THE MIND 🌀 By GAUTAM K MIRCHANDANI 🐅

20TH CENTURY

Two murmurs and a point

It makes a pretty good riot

Girls over here

Girls over there

It’s girls, girls, everywhere

The world of TV

The world of Videos

Who wants the damn old Radio?

Boys shouting here

Boys winking there

Boys are whistling everywhere

Where is old Santa Merry?

In the 20th Century

In its fight, in its loot

In its love, in its shoot

Days and hash rules

Presidents are just fools

Kissing is common

From Commies to the Romans

Just take your pick

Knives, guns, and bricks

Throw the hell around

Heaven to the ground

Where is old Santa Merry?

In the 20th century

In its’ dance, in its’ chance

In its play, in its’ lay

Wars and Revolution

Are today’s solutions

The sun gets hotter

Blood is cheaper than water

Liquor is for fun and gay

Let it be night or day

I say you, you say me

We tell lies as we feel

We vote nuts to power

Standing in queues for hours

Do one thing for heaven's sake

Trust no one these days.

Dear Readers,

Writing is a powerful medium that can bring people together, allowing us to express ourselves and share our experiences with the world.

Poetry and songwriting, in particular, can evoke emotions we may not have known existed.

I am thrilled to present my collection of poems and songs, “The Desolate Stretches of the Mind.” As you read through these pages, you will be transported to different worlds, enveloped in a world of emotions, and touched by the power of language. You will experience the joys and sorrows of life, the beauty of nature, and the magic of love.

I hope you enjoy reading this collection and that it brings you as much joy as it has brought to me while I was writing it.
