Beyond Perception Poem by Uma Pochampalli Goparaju

Looking at the beauty of the heights of Himalayas
The enchanting splendor and the beauty of ranges
Does it ever occur to you it may be hiding unseen lava?
Can the heart wrenching cries of the people be heard?

Fighting with the inflation,
Shredding all the sensation
Creating meaningless competition
And not knowing whither the destination

Hey you vagabond, do you even care?
Is that just enough to let the day pass
And start another in the unending rut?
Or do you have a meaning or purpose?

What have thou thought of your brothers and sisters today?
Why is the wind so head spinning and nerve breaking today?
Is that because of the soreness of my words?
May be it is the conscience in your heart!
