Melancholy

hiding in the lap of this field,
i can hear your barrel
knocking at soil,
chuckling at my 
ramshackled dreams
it was you ,man
you was my brother once ,
younger son of my mother,
i can smell mammas 
umbilical cord ,
when you throttle my heart,
pierces through my veins,
pouring chemical fumes
at my damp skin,
i prayed for your bliss,
to the eternity,
through my breaths, sighs,
you got golden marks,
crushing at my limbs,
you squeezed degrees 
and fames,
your labs was my 
mausoleum,
your pesticides 
was my 
killer
your fames was my loss,
i can see you brother 
bearing the white powder
in your arms
to demolish my 
larvas,
tadpoles,
with your famished
tongue 
you made my sorrows ,
the best item for your 
supper,
with a despairing sigh,
i'm writing my 
name on your homes 
again and again,
because your 
sons may not know 
what is a frog

Sneha , it's a wonderful poem. It reminds us the common bonding between all God had created, and we people violate His wish to our doom. Thanx. Love.
