emerson achari Poems

Day in day out i struggle
i have no future
None that i can see
nothing hopeful
...

Life is like a sphere
Not straight
Not easy to circumnavigate
Nor easy to see all
...

Smaller than all earthly measurements lie
a quaint quiet quizzical being
tinier even than the smallest fly
Yet smarter than the most intelligent guy
...

The light was dim
The whole house dark
all except for the one room
in which i sat
...

I fight for my country
I fight for fame
I fight for freedom
for a brighter day
...

So far i traveled
all challenges faced
Yet nothing prepared me
for the sight before my eyes
...

The war brings terrible beasts
i am but their slave

For a wife
...

Over millenia my people watched
silent, uninterrupted
over centuries we sit and stared hoping
...

I was awarded a medal
a medal of death

My life was never straight
...

The walls surrounded me
mocking...
i did not do it
i frequently said to myself
...
