You have to get up;
I don't want to get up.
Why don't you want to get up?
I'm very comfortable where I am, thank you.
...
Blacker than a starless night,
Black is the world;
Blacker than ocean depths,
...
Invisible assailant, friend and foe,
Has much to teach us;
His message courses bone and sinew,
Sears the flesh,
...
Where is God?
I left Him here upon the stair
But cannot find Him anywhere.
...
The world is like an old cat;
Battered, tattered, ears torn;
Still, a cat for all that;
Which can be loved,
...
Thought suspended,
Vision blurred,
Mind unfocussed,
Dreamlike,
...
The portals of the day
Are gently closed by Sleep;
Irrevocable
Is the resounding slam of
...
Engendered by hypocrisy, double-dealing,
Corruption and power-mongering,
Turbulences of hatred, mistrust and economic storms of disaster
Strike our global environment like wayward meteors,
...
Robin and Mynah
In harmony perched upon a wall;
Seeking shade, seeking food,
Seeking shelter from metallic sun
...
Below the once proud forests of prolific sal and teak
The land is having its heart torn out
By desecrating multi-nationals and local profiteers.
