LIFE IN SPIDER-NET
Fear reigns in lonely room
It in crooning corner zooms
I open the lock and occupy cot
Tuck it out with crooked shot
Our life is like a spider-net
Botherations and anger fret
Forgetting unity we cry brotherhood
This is nothing but a false-hood.
CROSS ROAD
Day and night
In sun and moon
Hungry people cry
In a land of sugarcane dry
Hope dies after monsoon
Howls of crying voice
Heard from far and near
Painful sight hard to bear
Careless class unmoved
From seaful tears!
GUERNICA
Make humans subject of pride
Days of Guernica in soul still hide
Franco and Hitler gone
But fear seldom leaves us in vine
We are haunted yet as past horrors
chase us dry
Fear is the key
It cuts quick in me
Me and my friends think
Will past return on the brink.
BIG SIGH
From my small room
Fragrance infiltrates
Into outer sky
Making men and bees swarm round my
skating ground
a refined sense I have found
Never I boast of possession I have
Masked people on me fie
Cutting through rough
Climate that lies
Before me and back
Nasty guys blow sigh!
LOVE IN CACTUS
In a strange world
My stay seems out of tune
Nearby forests understand my pain
But fellow men just pass by
Love in cactus springs high
Rains and clouds stand near me
Lightning gives me courage
And furious sea howls against opponents
Passing by saying Hi!
WINTER IN AIR
Past monsoon
Oysters glisten on sea
Comes wind of winter soon
Nature penetrates our soul
Ideas in waves bloom cool.
