'kasa' - Truth and Wisdom 3
an Eagle's flight is no fright
rather a height to fright all prey
You always stand tall
when you discount sky heights
Standing on the tallest Mountain
does not make you fly,
for your soles the Earth behold
Indeed the Universe occupy real space
but true space our Hearts and Minds occupy,
in comprehensible vastness
the Truth you run away from never chases, why?
Because you never left it behind, how?
Its your Heartbeat
The long barking dog exhibits little terror
but more fear, so is a nagging being
our Undeniable Footprints on shore
whispers not to the washing waves
As a being, man's closest of living a Dream
is to go blind, deaf and mute. Awake
Madness is just a Feeling
better short-lived or forever in-caged
Man eagerly cried-off childhood Freedom
just to anxiously search for it, a life-time.
Guess what? Man never did find
If the lettering of a Poet expresses
real Freedom which the Mad lives,
then call me 'a Mad Poet’
