Five Decades

FIVE DECADES
It is yet dawn here!
Though the sun smiles glowingly
The souls set to toil
Like hypnotized spirit in deep laughter

It is yet dawn here!
The cloud had fermented
The earth arrogantly molested
Culminating a forced abortion

It is yet dawn here!
The journey had long began
The barns are of suckling
Counsels have been trodden
Five decades of fumbling and stumbling
When will it be dawn here?
