Listen to my
pleas,
Said a heart
filled with anguish
Will you please
tell me more?
I truly wish to
know more!
Of the time of
the ages,
When men were
children to their sons
And everybody is
mad with the Sun.
When the earth
is full of mischief
And everybody
claimed to be chief.
I direly long to
know more –
Of the
happenings of old!
My tender heart
seeks knowledge
I am soaked with
yearnings to the edge.
Of the existence
of man-eaters
Who we have come
to know as man-haters
They sat still
in silence
Expecting men to
clumber up with malice
They gave them
seed of discord…
And waited
fretfully for the tree of accord
Oh! What a world
you once knew
When the dead
came to be new
And the living
going on a journey
As pilgrims on a
pilgrimage with faces so grim
Only to return
with sorrow filled to the brim.
Tell me more!
Of the time when
women feed their infants
In agony and
uncertainty about the future
And babies twist
to misbehaving miscreants
Growing into our
fabled caricature
The karma of our
dreams born premature
Tell me more!
Of people who
searched for the Golden Fleece
In every manner
of ease
Never keen to
work and toil
Yet desperate to
enjoy
Tell me more!
Of that which
you know nothing about
And every step
towards it a bout.
The future!
Please tell me
more!
