Poem

Like I have just stepped out 
of a cocoon hidden in an 
ancient ageless cave. 
Freshness of the atmosphere, 
so amazingly beautiful and divine 
greets me as if am jolted back 
out of a long absence into the 
present moment. 
Everything seems anew 
as I looked at the firmament 
after a long slumber.
I can hear my pounding heart 
as if it's just starting for the first time.
But this serenity I feel around me 
eludes many.
Amidst the turmoil and noise,
the devastation and hunger,
the hopelessness I see in the 
eyes of the young ones,
dashed dreams amongst the elderly, 
disappointments amongst the youth, 
depression within the heart of our women,
discrimination among different ethnic tribes, 
separatism of the rich from the poor, 
the greediness within secular bodies, 
control and robbery in religious circle,
 lasciviousness and whoredom
amongst women already taken is heartbreaking, 
increase of sodomy in our society,
families torn apart,
the presence of ethnic cleansing 
from these strange ones is disturbing.
My heart at the moment seems unperturbed, 
but withdrawn from all these 
unnecessary harrowing growing pains.
I have seen deaths of the innocent ones 
which society seem to reject.
I have watched bigotry unleashed 
and put in place by the trusted people.
Unwittingly there's anarchy within. 
I watched as a spectator looking at the 
tumultuous ebbs of the ocean tides,
the breakdown of law and 
order amongst the people. 
But my heart is at peace with myself 
and the world for I know that judgement is near.
