Weep For Your Son

So powerful yet so vulnerable So mighty but so weak A life of grandeur and dominance embodied with greed and abundance is drawing to a close by its own arrogance I could see everything from all angle All wrapped up within one giant circle Connecting the bold dots on the external triangle This morning I sat on the big fearless rock Watching the silent river flowing in the deep For a while everything was dead silent And I could hear my own breath and my heart throbbing The trees were silent too and there wasn't a touch of breeze It felt like a big ceremony was happening way out in the deep Water flowed peacefully under the old bridge and the birds flew to and fro the ridge, murmuring I could sense that something sad was about to happen My mother used to tell that silent river runs deep and the quite ones are usually the most dangerous ones I sat there staring in the water praying that it will remain calm But all of a sudden something more powerful than me began raging in the trees causing a turbulent commotion And shouting cars start parading up and down the street The bird thunderous voice kept screaming in the trees Forcing me to pack up and quickly take my leave I headed towards the East staring directly into the morning sun lamenting my discomforts but it had a message for me before the day began After hearing my case it buried itself under the thick blue sky The scent of fresh flowers circulated the atmosphere And I found myself in three different spots picking flowers far and near They had the same color the same smell and the same truth The sun came out from under the tempestuous sky with a ferocious energy that lit up the entire sky I could literally feel it scorching my face oh what a big disgrace I lie on the grass in front of the big round pond watching the sun emitting its woeful verdict King Nebuchadnezzar has boasted of building the great Babylon by his own mighty power, for himself and his patrons But he was driven away from power and lived with wild animals and eat grass until he was humbled I got up suddenly and stared at the water in front of me And saw one duck swimming in big wide pond Mother duck circled around the pond swimming up and down and quacking merrily around Quack Quack Quack
