Dream.. Poem by s yadu krishnan

Here i sit,
alone in the dark
with a spark in my eye,
hearing the world, when it cries.

So here i am,
Watching the world, watching you! !
As you shed your tears,
Like a man who fears
Of death, when it appears.

I can feel you beg for life
Like a prisoner
Awaiting his rope
That will choke him to death,
Even as he struggles for breath!

I saw it all start,
When man made his path
Clearing the trees,
Then drilling holes,
Right into your toes!

You bear all the pain
With no complain
Never did u expect that
Ur life was now at stake!

It dosen’t make a difference
to man, you must know.
If not you
For him, the moon will do!

Like a candle dat burns,
With no one to lean on
Here in the dark you stand
glowing fire behind your back!

Gimme a break!
Whats happening? ?
The darkness has moved,
Lights, switched on!
Oh! was it all a dream? ....
Or something more than it to me?


I think its more of a foresight
That earth herself has shown me
And now with a spark in my eyes,
Im here for the world, when it cries!
