Great Nation

What sort of a nation Is it, my poor dead man? Oh, the mighty old land Where we exist in songs. Why did you die so early, My dear muddy ones? Their songs were too sweet Their stories too distant. What were you when alive, The one killed in the forest? Once a hunter-gatherer With our tribal codes Hunted without fun For it was what we did. And you, the ones Who took his own life? Caked in thick mud Smelled of manure Could read the sky But knew not well The world of speculation. What sort of a nation Have they made now? A mighty known nation Where children hate the sun The moon is feared Where people laugh When they are told A great coloured nation Where poets are obedient Their verses are stamped That sort of a mighty nation Where everyone is erudite Yet can't tell the smell of mud Were children are incubated So they can see the h...

Must they recite the verses? Must they be like the naga Smeared in ash paste ?

Your Wish

Only if one knew This was to end With such grief With such curse This throbbing heart One should have stabbed Till it turned pieces The morbid sight Would please you The dripping streams Would soothe you Its dreadful colour Would put you to sleep Ease would be yours But solace would be mine I would stand tried And clearly vindicated Thus your remorse Ever fairly exacted Such is the fate One should meet Such is the tragedy One should enact To please you To please you all To undo the strain You would like it When it glimmered In far distance Which you could ignore Even forget it When you chose so Perhaps the torrents Would put it out Then the thick mist Would shroud it Till it turned Just another memory And such memory One can easily erase
