Poem Title:
Poem
I will guard not against rules, but my conscience And never shall exult in the esteem of men For we all are brothers and sisters and friends, Offspring of the muck whose bosom we embrace. I live my life like a passing wind Gently surfing through all the matters of life Engendered and crafted by the hands of humans; I view all things and weight their values. They, as of a running stream on beds of rocks The waters never lie still or become absorbed So that water and rock cannot conjoin So is my life with the materials of earth. Are mine to find acquaintance…. When the heavens mourn, plants flourish, When heaven is at its brightest moment The plants of the earth shrivel in misery? Yet they complement a cultivatable life. I shall adapt to the intrigue and go my way. I am brimmed full of her…life, life, life…! Her great bowel is fraught with stale noise, And she breaks wind into the atmosphere! I am disgusted and will wander off Wherever I shall have the balm of silence. Silence is the overall answer to the Nagging conundrums of the world. I have had enough of the din and roar, now I seek wisdom in the quietude of nature. In a million of roar and hullabaloo of life I find not a lesson to take to heart But in a single word from silence I have acquired a million lessons! I will live in the prudence of silence and Quiet my name, my pride, my ambitions. Lo, the silence of God and the silence Of nature makes me uncomfortable To see my vain humanity and cravings But in that shall i seek safety and solace! Much has been the noise about love and Peace yet to find. I shall deny myself goods And seek peace from the alcove of my heart! What is more to life, to eat, to breathe, To be honoured or to acquire goods? I tire of this humdrum existence. It is one mind from bad to good, It is one spirit from Jainism to Islam, It is one flesh from poverty to wealth, Only the result from the aura tells. Hear, both tears and laughter have Complement my health. A man in a cell is being restrained by law And same a man on the open street is being Restrained by custom and constitution. A man who knew was once not in existence And cry to have come forth from womb Why weep again who is to be gone to oblivion?
