Let Us Do It. Poem by Tajudeen Shah

Welcome, you dear ones.
Don’t let your souls wander any more.
Let us traverse together
Through the virtuous wilderness
Of imaginations; absolute and wild,
To delight in taming them right.
Keep them adorned for ever more,
To be known in human time line,
As something Southey, ‘The Scholar’
Had mused ages ago of poets.
Thinkers often had pains varied,
Still had beacons for those tarried,
Leading through the threshold
Of time; the death desolated!
We have details immense:
Of Battles and Wars,
Invasions and Looting,
Victories and Failures,
Kings, Queens, Princes and Knights,
Calamities of Man and Nature,
Flood and Fire,
Plague and Quakes,
Massacres and deeds savage ….
Our eye balls are hostile
To sharp rays of lights;
Natural and made up,
Save the inner world’s views.
Sweet wild blossoms, not
Of any concern to nostrils dry,
Humiliated are Taste buds,
By even the homely delicacies!
Are you not wise enough,
To engage your blessed sense,
In those prophecies pointed out,
Since the first bang of time? !
Let us do it together,
Redefining of our timeline,
Exploring the fossils of thoughts,
Passions and imaginations!
