My Wish
Oh! I wish history is not in existence
And yesterday stays out of reference
Perhaps ground will die of hunger
In this case no life is in danger
There is only present and past rots in darkness
And life has no fullstop, but long and endless
So that we see ground ground sir
So that we see ground ground ma
I wish no fear in man's heart
And death kills the death
So that no end to man's life
And forever we live the life
The old becomes young
And the young remains the young
Incoming generation meets this generation
And love homes hearts of generations
I wish no wrinkle in mother's face
And fresh does father's face
Like a child of twenty years
Like moon mother's beauty shines
And ash bush becomes black
When shaves no grey but black
They dance not without drum,
Like leaves on the stream
I feel like they want to prostrate
For me when we take a jaunt
Me child now their father
Oh God I can take this no further!
