○●in Black & White●○ Poem by Sathya Narayana

Daydream O' friend, of favorable portends;
a royal crown, a golden throne, a sword
in hand, courtiers and attendants on bend!
To dream is your birth right, yeah dream in bold!

But lo my friend, this life is numbers, names
and forms. To know them all and make your own
is louder than a cry and slogan game!
On earth dreams can't make their own clones!

Don't drown yourself in pumping reverie lurch!
Don't jump with hope at colorful rainbows
and flying flags in dreams. By morn, will clutch
your neck, the truth like calescent gallows!

Well, see this life as life in white and black.
Hues fade and morrows look at you....yes blank! !

(Calescent: adj: increasing in heat)
