Hornpipes Poem by Sathya Narayana

Hornpipes

Rating: 4.8


Wealthy I am! Can wager on vices
Eager they’re too to take me zenith
Avarice-whisky, anger-cigarettes and
Lust-harlots lined up to keep me afloat
Through pseudo-pleasures of life
Hornpipes somewhere inside hoot cautions
“Yards nigh you’re to Judgment day”

A well written conscience poem, i enjoyed it, the message of course is to banish these desires and leave all thoughts behind, and enjoy the happiness of Now.
