Like A Madman Poem by kelvin karani

I rummage through all the bins

Searching for something

That would end this longing.

I try my luck from one end to another

But nobody is answering my prayer.



I have been up and down these streets

I have rapped at all the doors

I have kept guard night and day

Lest what am looking for runs away

Now I know life is inimical to my thirst.



The opium of want intoxicates me

My throat is parched so and yet,

The oasis of hope has dried up.

Let me laugh at the banality of life

Let me laugh at you and me struggling………
