YOU AND ME
Lyrical lines
Haltingly flow under my pen
Painting a vision unfolding
before my eyes
Is it before? Or of things to
come?
Shifting and shaping, events
beyond my ken!
Paint I must, with words
deliberate
Lest I myself, however unwitting,
trigger a spate,
For words flung into the
atmosphere
Takes on life and form, morphing
each and everywhere
For words were at the start of
the existence of
You and me.
Throngs, push and rally, Baba
Sai!
Fanatically blinded, to the lack
of merit,
Despite the wailing of many,
whose one refrain is Baba?! Kai!
Obviously wilted, certificates
not legit,
Still he pronounces, I AM THE
CHANGE!
On that we all agree, what we
debate…
Is - WHAT KIND OF CHANGE?
The Good Book, says we will be
given leaders after our own heart
Is he perhaps a reflection of
what our souls are?
Is he just the public face,
Of the secret you,
and me?
Smoke and light,
The picture fades, then bright!
For with every prophesy
One different action, shifts the
sands of time
Another time, another lie
The declaration is made
There is a cracking, rumbling,
groaning
Even the earth revolts,
The pervading spirit of the air,
Awakens the monster from its lair
The Beast hitherto sleeping,
Time which stretched seemingly
unending,
Has now roused!
Set to ravage everything,
Including you and me.
This monster is in you, and me
Reduced to Neanderthals, we fight
For our dreams, hopes, very
existence
We know what the norms are, the
expectations
But whatever,
Unthinking, uncaring, with deep
feelings
We change our fate
For the prophesy is just vapor
Lacking substance or truth
Without our action!
2019, is you and me.
