The Outcry Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The Outcry

Rating: 5.0


Mountains stand straight against the barren sky
And it looks like a pastel drawing.
Where is that bird's song going?
Butterflies could see only in the season
And the flowers wither after giving their fragrance.
Helpless man like a foot-ruler measures the invisible destiny
When the death smiles behind.
Sun and Moon never try to live together
And he who writes and erase
Still the life is a mistake?

*Quotation
And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass
[Ezra.Pound]

Nimal, once again a masterful compositition. Allison is right; you are one of PH's greatest poets. The lines here are without dout those of pastel. Only you could portray rage in such a becalmed manner.
