The Broken Song...

I hear a song,
Echoing from the prisons and alleyways,
That’s being hummed lowly,
Like a vagrant mothers lullaby,
To the innocent cheek that suck dry breasts,
It’s the song of “death”!

It moves like a venomous reptile,
Among filthy rags and rotten mud in the dark,
Whose shadow scares the decaying creatures,
Helpless with wounds of poverty,
Those hang on the streets and holes,
The tainted images from the creator’s hand!

I swipe this portrait with my song of love,
Spreading warmly over shivering bodies in cold,
A song that hovers calmly, healing the ruptures,
It flows luminously in the heart of death,
Whose waves whisper chants of “hope”,
Into the open ears of bony infant!

It’s a covenant song,
Of hunger, of pain and of love,
Tears exist between light and darkness,
I stand there like an angel with broken wings,
While I touch the cheek of that hungry little soul,
I sing my song forever!

The Unwanted

These tiny creatures are released onto the earth,
From the heavenly capture, so mysteriously angelic,
Planet wildly engulfs their lives! Generations and races,
Without an answer, to unknown questions,
Is it the flaw of the creation? To curse the innocence?
Is this bereaving existence, Pre-destined on the mind of creator?
Is there a divine judgment, for the result of “fate”?
Was hope ever been, Promised to humanity?

Soak

To find life beneath the deepest ocean,
On the highest mountain,
In the driest desert and the coldest glacier,
And deep down in the crystal rocks,
Under the sediments and everywhere,
The whole earth to absorb “life”,
Every minute detail to reveal “life”,
It’s God who soaked the Earth in life !

But, let me see life throbbing deep pain,
Reflecting on the palm of a dusty hand,
Brooding silently in the filthy dark,
In the hearts that ache for hunger,
And in bosoms that concave with ire.
The broken sheds collapse as broken lives,
Soiled clothes! Burying souls beneath earth,
Its “Human” who need to soak life in “Love”!
