Temple of Words

Here, I hear the sound of a plane Flying in the firmament of some darkened cold weather. Bgooohhhhm.... It goes on and on. I remember then I would shout into the naked and unseeable element.

What is in my heart has remained blind, Dumb, it has remained deaf. It's muteness is the tallest mountain That hides behind a log of dry wood.

Behold them on the road and buildings, Those whose pockets never get filled- Front ones, back ones, side ones, All these keep eating and eating The cash and coins of passers-stop! And custody-shun! Their black pockets are always thirsty, Especially for the twenty of CBN's plenty. And these pockets Never get dry, yet unsatisfied.

If a man does not know How to wield a sword His mouth must be sealed to asking what might have Sent his father to the mongers of the soil But our hands are strong

We can be more! More than breathing stones- Structures walking on fragile ropes. We can be more Than blind ones on a journey to a pit full of heart aches

                       To the young,                To the old,                To my country.... I remember you, old man, Standing by a boy with three bent heads. For hours you stood looking at how The three heads of this boy moved closer to a break,

          And suddenly every man began to run to save his life!         Ah! What has crushed joy on the head?         Ah! What has made fun run to bed? They jumped into the arena of dances, Joy thickened on everyone's face Lovely air, sounds of drums filled the air. Ladies rushed out to shake their hips To show the men seated what they’ve got.

The danger that lies In ambush for that soul who clings more Who beholds more Who loves more and who- Death be sure too!-!sometimes! And even cry more... An ambush, fire started by the smoke Of lost love lowered down a pit by lust And when this be, Dove dies Love cries And like light dwelling in a black-hole, ZOOM! love is gone!
