Listen to our pleas
said anguished hearts
tell us
of the time of the ages
when men were children to
their sons
and everyone was mad with
the Sun
when the earth was full of
mischief
and everybody claimed to be
chief
tell us
of the happenings of old!
our tender heart seeks
knowledge
tell us
of the existence of
man-eaters
who are now man-haters
when they sat still in
silence
expected men to clumber up
gave them seeds of discord…
and waited scornfully for
the tree of unity
oh! What a world you once
knew
when the dead came to be
new
and the living went on a
journey
as pilgrims on a pilgrimage
with faces so grim
only to return with sorrow filled
to the brim
tell us
of the time when women feed
their infants
in agony, uncertain of their
future
and babies grew to
misbehaving miscreants
developed into our fabled
caricature
the karma of our dreams
born premature
tell us
of homo habilis who
searched for the Golden Fleece
in every manner of ease
never keen to work and toil
yet desperate to enjoy
tell us
of that which you know
nothing about
and every step towards it a
bout –
the future!
Please tell us more!
