It Is Man Poem by KATOCH P C K PREM

IT IS MAN

it is consuming avarice
and will that live
that explode in man
and make him break hold
disintegrate warbling emotions
and reasons mystic.

It tosses between awareness
and blindness
dark clouds refuse to shower rain
and consolation.

It is heat and agitation
and raging violence
in debris of embers
trickle in drops
those loving moments
showing in stature
in the spring of life.

Storms impede life
and grow to kill
man moves away amid confusion
and becomes an atom
then he loses an identity
to merge
in total anonymity
a finality unexpected.

(Oracles of the Last Decade 1998)
