The Land Is Still ' Waste'...! Poem by Sheshu Babu

The Land Is Still ' Waste'...!



.... Now, every month seems to be' cruelest ' month..!
Blood is oozing from lilacs...
There are ' Hollow' men and stereotype J Alfred Prufrock
Roaming to and fro
Talking of Michael Angelo...

World has changed for the worse
Your ' indefatigable ' curse
Has left ' the waste land '
Inhuman with loads of sand...

There are rapes and ' murder in the Cathedral '
Eliot! Will you reform the world or escape from it as usual....? ?

(A loving remembrance on the birthday of the octogenarian writer T S Eliot)

I often cry. Now stop it, Tom Eliot! As his beautiful lyrics continually invade my thoughts. The women come and go talking of Michaelangelo is a frequent visitor. And I can't look at a line of washing without murmuring the sun's last rays Great poets always leave traces in you! I really enjoyed your poem, worthy of the great man himself.
