KNOT

Sixty years of knowledge,

Scriptures and wisdom,

Saging and seering

Discussing and debating

All together

Fail to untie the knot

That hit this island

And was taken back

Unsolved, unresolved

Live still like a charged bombshell

Ready to explode

Again on this earth

Challenging the cosmos.

Gods never sat with him

To tell him

Who he was.

From where he came,

Why he came

And where shall be go

What was their interest

In keeping him confused?

So that he remained in a state

If absolute uncertainty.

Here is the result of their apathy.

Man remains a mystery.

***

WHEN WORDS HIT THE STREETS

When words lose meaning

They are a heap of refuge

Or objects

In a junkyard

Which have lost their values.

When words lose their property

And turn paupers

They move about

Beggar-like in the streets (poems)

Asking for alms (appreciation).

Words are needed

When silence fails to convince

And too many words means

Too little is their payload

Only shells, no bullets

The problem with man is

He does not know

When the most loved words

Which endear us to others

Suddenly lose their attractivity.

Words!

Fear those times

When in a quirk of fate,

Things are reversed

And losing their princely status 

Hit the streets begging alms.
