Cry you not dear, shed not in vain tears,
And drop not your shoulders often,
For then, your own zillion faceless fears,
You merely let quickly embolden!
Let instead your eyes brightly capture
The muted rumblings in million heads,
Souls of which shall ne'er feel the rapture
Of taste of bread, or a wink on beds...
Beds, the likes of which you daily grace,
Are but wishful thoughts best swept aside
For 'nother birth on Earth's ruthless face,
So why not stifle the dream inside?
Yeah, why not inside, the emptiness?
Left behind by man's fervent rampage
Turning greenly grass to concrete mess-
Halt, witness mankind's 'coming-of-age'!
And what woe 'coming-of-age' entails
For the trodden down,is in your eyes,
So if you must cry, then pick their trails
And shed your tears for their muted cries!
Your fears shall then break asunder,
And each piece for each man shall adorn
A shield resisting meek surrender,
And then, your tears shall have justice borne.

here goes my comment on ur 1st post at our blog :D:D:D A 'must read by all' sort of poem which would call for social awakening.
ReplyDeleteits true that tears need to be shed only when they are worth shedding. self pain is no less painful than social pain. only if one is happy, one can pour in happiness outside. crying out of self pain & for social pain lets out all wrath, which suppressed, would only destroy... :D:D:D [its only coz i know y this poem is written...lol].
OMG!
ReplyDeleteIf this poe is a message I assume it is... I don't know how to react.
Whether to marvel at the poetic beauty of the piece or smile at the vociferous voicing of honest feelings n support... or to muse at the suggestions given. :) :) :)
I suddenly feel proud... for knowing the poets of these poems. :D
Great job. You people write good poetry. The whole blog is very impressive & encouraged me to make one of my own.
ReplyDeleteComing to this poem, I think it must find its place for a larger mass to read it.
