Can I Say

Shaking earth, you call me? Can I say, some moment please? Just had my meal, pretending to sleep The hustle of life-chants me a lullaby, helping me to forget the lows This small hut, my modest abode- Made of clay, a part of your life. It’s trembling now, falling into pieces I am not asking for more, I know it’s yours- the soil and we mortals both The air we breathe and the sound of wind- this and more and henceforth But can’t bear the pain, the fellows cry, how can you show no empathy Just had my meal, pretending to sleep Can I say, some moment please?
