<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Whether we fear or not, it definitely will
rain. Or it won’t.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it can, it will rain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He will talk- after all he is man.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Not solely lump of soil, salt and sweat is he!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It suffices not that he has hunger, thirst,
tears, joy, work…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He craves for a sterling life too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Well don’t mind.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s not so easy to penetrate into the chapters
of the mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The mind is the sky. Bit by bit clouds
accumulate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Regardless of whether the birds of dreams fly
or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Listen! The mind is the sky. The cosmos of the
cosmos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And so if it rains, we shall talk about the
rain, our homes, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Pain and pleasure, and our resentment. Love and
envy too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Come on! In the celebrations this time, let the
soul sing a rock ‘n roll.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The picturesque paintings of consciousness be
hung majestically in </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The art exhibition. Let trees play football-sun
on the slushy soils.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">(<i>Ole… Goal!</i>) Let tune lose consciousness
bewitched by </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The dance of crops wairing serenity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains, in haste we will pick our clothes
and sun-dried grains.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We will shelter our fouls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let our footwear rest under our beds
throughout.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The sky may rejoice when children play games
outwitting life and death</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On rainbow roads raked by the horizon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As it rains, the cascading waters may have to
listen to the dusting of things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Scenic sights of sounds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It will rain on the palms, the empty palms of
earth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Washing away the hollowness. Rinsing the silts
of solitude.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Without the teacher’s permission, students will
be soaked wet even</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With their umbrellas. Drenched will be their
innocent now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Just wait till it rains. We will push out the
sick seeds of abundance</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And watch them getting wet from head to heel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The fairy song mushrooms will spring up on the
spine of time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Tribal children of yonder village chattering
gaily well come</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To harvest these mushrooms next dawn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Eyes turned inwards- hardened heart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The law on one hand, the whip on the other.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains not, some faithful illusion will be
Charioteer to <i>Arjun</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Carrying him in the chariot of clouds- there
where villages, cities,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nations and market squares will transform into <i>Kurukshetras</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Disfigured milestones with peeling numbers
stretch their hands</span> <span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">like
beggars</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">At the roadside where countless lonely cars are
caught in a jam.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But if it rains, leaves will rehearse their
wetness in the musical notes</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of a new opera.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Even stones will be drenched- never mind even
it’s just from outside</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They have never tasted wetness before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains not, the rain will have to wait
chewing on the seeds of hope </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That germinated in the last rains.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In his own period of history, people has waited
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For long periods of time. (Say not that people
cannot wait- </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bird drags to the nest and waits for dawn).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains not- mothers will for their sons
weave stories of rainfall.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains not- the streets where <i>Ashok</i>,
<i>the conqueror</i> returned </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Victorious as <i>Ashok</i>, <i>the Great</i>
from <i>Kalinga</i> will return</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of thirst back to <i>Kalinga</i>. Again. Back
to <i>Kalinga</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Parched voices born in throat. Squeezed out dry
sounds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Withered pale looks. All these drenched will be</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dead banks of rivers may resurrect gurgling the
genesis of flow.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But if it rains not- then let our expectations
be like the rain</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Falling over our infernal hamlets of hope.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The ordinary talker, the mundane life-bearer,
the plain man</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">May say- <i>“We cannot wait. Why wait for one
who never turns up?”</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But looking intensely at the quiet sky, he must
to himself say-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We have to wait. Not for the sake of waiting.
Waiting while</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Not wanting to wait for those that never
waited.”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That’s alright- let not the lips of our eyes
shut up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s enough that the lashes of our ears are
wide open.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We have to wait like one who waits for the
waiting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">See – it is so easy!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Like the desolate home that waits for a distant
letter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Like this tree whose last leaf falls and it
watches and waits</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For the spring to sprout in the tender leaves
of the other tree.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Like the travellers on this bank waiting for
the boat</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That has crossed over to the other bank like a
hero</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To return empty again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The first flower in the bough. The first thorn.
Waits for the first</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of some last revolution. The final war. The
ultimate wound.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The matter is crystal clear. Like radiant
reality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it rains- the rivers will rise. The sands
will surge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Drenched will be the pathways. Throughout the
cosmos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The pathways</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Wherefrom till yesterday demons in disguise of
personal dieties</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Deluding themselves as our destiny</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Circumambulated ceremonial fires lit of our
lives</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Consummating our tomorrows.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The pathways</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Wherefrom the pathways spread their hoods</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And slither with hisses to embed their poison
fangs</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On the Orion of pathways.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The pathways</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Wherefrom faceless we- will be trudging on- </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And may be trudging back will be our own alien
faces.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh yes!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Before the rains, the sky may be delirious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It may vomit lightning streaks. It is alright
if it rains.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is alright even if it rains not. It will be
waited for. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The one that has been waiting will wait still</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But tolerate – he will not – even the time</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That he has been tolerating.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now on. Now onward.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our struggles</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Burnt alive</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And ashes bear them in their fertile belly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We the offspring of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ashes</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The mere ashes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sing the song of fire </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Running in the roads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sleeping in the houses</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Missing in the jungles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Crying in the hearts</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Grinding in the workplace </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ashes are always loved by fires </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our sultry bloods</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Are soaked by</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The ashes of our forgetful histories</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As the motions stop at a standstill</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Poor ashes are loitering in the market</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In fear of motions</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Matured smokes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Risen from dull ashes</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Of this hasty century</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">That is swallowed stealthily by</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A dark night </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
One fine morning <br />
We can leave <br />
Our homes<br />
In search of a new home <br />
To die in <br />
<br />
We can sing through <br />
Your vocal chords<br />
To stop singing at all<br />
<br />
We can blossom <br />
Inside <br />
Deserted caves<br />
<br />
We can run away<br />
From our own <br />
Fires of revolt<br />
<br />
We surrender before them<br />
And cry for shelter<br />
<br />
We can hammer nail <br />
On our foot<br />
For we had have <br />
Enough of walking<br />
<br />
We can inject slavery <br />
Inside our mouths<br />
To be hearer <br />
Forever<br />
<br />
We can easily lose <br />
One more war<br />
At the cost of a thousand more wars<br />
To be won <br />
<br />
We can<br />
We can<br />
We can<br />

Against tremor <br />
<br />
She knew<br />
What is <br />
The difference between<br />
Life and death<br />
That is why she fights <br />
Even for others<br />
<br />
She saved the entire village<br />
From a landslide:<br />
She is tree<br />

<br />
You can create as many earths as you like<br />
<br />
No matter<br />
Outside or within this earth<br />
No matter<br />
How mach big or little those shall be<br />
<br />
You may not listen to<br />
The pathetic farewell song of<br />
Birds flying towards south<br />
<br />
Whether you ask the silent cascade<br />
For its opinion on your opinion of creating new earths<br />
<br />
This ever spinning earth has <br />
Always loved to see you <br />
Multiplying your goals, exponentially<br />
Amplifying your dreams, horribly<br />
<br />
And, there is ample of space<br />
In this liberal universe<br />
<br />
Your ambitious red eyes<br />
Can’t see wounds <br />
That you have gifted to this earth <br />
With ‘zero greed’<br />
<br />
Human have always misused its technology<br />
To exploit others:<br />
The educated parasites have<br />
Started gnawing continuously <br />
The crust, fat, muscular tissues, bones <br />
Of earth<br />
<br />
Accumulation of properties can make you “rich”<br />
But at cost of<br />
Earth’s silent cry<br />
<br />
You wish passionately to multiply<br />
Multiply <br />
And multiply <br />
<br />
Ok, you multiply<br />
Your desires<br />
Existence<br />
And markets<br />
<br />
But do you know<br />
That this anomic earth<br />
Is bored of your hungry needs?<br />
<br />
You can go anywhere<br />
And build your earth of your choice<br />
<br />
You can do anything you like<br />
But you don’t have the option<br />
Ro choose between<br />
Your lunatic life and <br />
Earth<br />
<br />
Your ego flies over<br />
The empty nests of some newly extinct birds<br />
<br />
Whatever big number <br />
After you multiply something with something<br />
You are badly in need of ‘one’<br />
<br />
You are deeply aware<br />
That you are gradually losing<br />
Your ‘One’<br />
