IT IS NOT ME
IT IS NOT ME
It is not me
Your future is summoning
For you
Roofs are thatched with silence
Houses have doors of ebony
Walls persist
Between human-beings
You are invited to
Fetch adze
To demolish walls
It is not me
Your future is summoning
For you
Listening to sirens
Run breathlessly
Towards bazaars, mills and offices
Life-less beings of night
Stiff eye-balls gazing
Human-beings
Stranger to each other
You are invited to
Meet others with open heart
It is not me
Your future is summoning
For you
Light of bulb
Is confined to it shade
Only shadow lands on
Huge footpath
Such a cover page of
Book of life
Has been deciphered
You are invited
To decipher
Next page of life
It is not me
Your future is summoning
For you.
