The burning sun scorched the land,
orphaned animals die parched of thirst,
I am a sunflower,
I love the sun.
Power blackouts darken the hapless town,
wind blows off dazzling neon lights,
I am a glow worm,
My glow never dies.
Men aim to reach the stars,
women crave to humble the moon,
I am a dog,
I have no aims.
Powerful empires rise and fall every second day,
time fades away the mirage nimbus of prophets,
I am a banyan tree,
I fight against time.
Trees are cut mercilessly,
wars are waged relentlessly,
I am a man,
I never change myself. |
