Beginning and Ending
I move walking with a beginning
and stop with an ending
And again with an ending and then with a beginning
Not towards anything, my friend,
But towards nothingness
Forgetting myself with a cup of wine
In order to dance with leaves of a tree as the breeze
Cheerfully,
In order to bear up the pain of my heart
Sorrowfully
Over the unholy men in holy order
Over the sordid attitude of my country men in power
No one needs any weapon to kill me
I myself dissolve into times and vanish in thin air
I am aware of my death, sure
And I do not fear
I try to celebrate my life all the time.
Whether you are going to live or die
Whether I am going to live or die, ever
The world remains, changing
And changing forever.
I move walking with a beginning
and stop with an ending
- Ponniah Ganeshan
