Let Morning Come

At our home, in Rio and Rome, let morning come
In tattered twilight twin towers tumbling down
Beech Birch Banyan Neem being brought down
Your moon pales in homeless premonition
Let our madness calm, let morning come

Dark too much cumbersome let morning come
On the bank of Tigris a little boy plans to take up the guns
To no end, for no rose. Let morning come
Our habits, our rabbits, make them less unwholesome
Through the lattices in the wall, let morning come

This seems like a very sad poem, Probir. The dawn of a peaceful new day, sounds refreshing!

Considered collectively, we are living in night and very badly are in need of morning ... Hence the wish for a morning ... Obviously a pious wish ... But the expression of the sentiment is there... Thank you, Daniel for your kind visit and comment ...
