NOW IS THE TIME OF MONSTERS


“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
― Antonio Gramsci

 
The old world seems dead And the new world has not completely awaken from its sleep .
 The same old monsters has taken rebirth in new forms ,
 decaying their old fossils , dressing in new dresses ,
trying new cosmetics and reshaping old narratives in brand new attires .
The old world is half asleep ,
 the new world is half alert.
 we are in the amidst the abyss of new beasts ,
and they are here to stay and haunt us for a while.
 Both the old and the new Frankenstein desires.
Both the old and the new peculiarities of the times
Both the old and the new irregularities of the melting ice
The monsters are the same , just their configurations have changed
the embodiment of the exterior eludes us to believe that they are any different
Reawakening has nothing to do with their untamed uncommon
Metamorphosis for the same cause
has blinded our sights
The old world is no more old ,
The new world is no more brand new
Post modernist paranoia is here to stay
Post modernist augurs have their offshoots
half buried in the grave of Gramsci …
