Fragments

The burning sun scorched the land, orphaned animals die parched of thirst, I am a sunflower, I love the sun. Power blackouts darken the hapless town, wind blows off dazzling neon lights, I am a glow worm, My glow never dies. Men aim to reach the stars, women crave to humble the moon, I am a dog, I have no aims. Powerful empires rise and fall every second day, time fades away the miraged nimbus of prophets, I am a banyan tree, I fight against time. Trees are cut mercilessly, wars are waged relentlessly, I am a man, I never change myself.
