Revised

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History took an extreme twirl
Time took a meandering curl
Life’s meaning and decorum
Are flooded by the river of blood

Eternal dark expedition of life
Marches ahead in grisly fright
Life howls for the bright light
but light is cloaked by the night

Funeral pyre laughs with joy
Death spoofs the living heart
Termination of one arrogant
But neo arrogant is born

Innumerable hearts burning
But where is the light?
Tears like river, floods the heart,
But where is the ocean of happiness?

This pain must alleviate
But not a single doctor is born
To massage the balmy lotion
And soothe this voracious pain

My own face looks like that of foe
How can I call strangers my foe?
In the oven of baffling friendship,
how can the love mine glow?

Sense that all valleys are desolate
doesn’t know under which tree is shade.
In the journey of eternal desert
don’t know, where the fate ends?

Was born to meet the ghastly sorrow
Mountains of sorrow is rising still
and tears like the rain, falls from my eyes
yet, happiness I glimpse not.

Whose mistake was it anyway?
And why somebody else is punished
who is here to know the truth?
All are strangers here, heading for the doom.


Eclipse envelopes the Sunlight
Darkness prevails with delight
with open heart and happy flight,
whom should I pray for their long life?
