Why should I die?
What is life?
Why did you give me birth oh! Lord?
Why this agony of life?
Why are you making me cry again and again?
Why do you do so? ---dear Lord!
How long will I walk in this desert of life?
Think of my loneliness!
I long for companionship, comfort and support.
My tears do not reach you-my friend?
I bend over my knee and go on sobering.
What mistake did I do?
Is it not forgivable?
Can I not get a chance to make a new beginning?
Such a worthless is I?
Tell me! Tell me! Lord, I am waiting for your word.
You made my childhood as a history filled with mystery.
I run wherever I liked.
I dressed the way I pleased.
I did everything what seemed to me good?
Days were so nice, just be one self.
My grand mother carried me wherever we went.
How that old lady kissed me as long as she pleased?
After few years she too left me.
My dad always had great eyes on me.
He carried me on his shoulder whenever we went out.
Before and after meal he always inquired my appetite.
Though I have mother and brothers, you made me orphan.
Just like Abraham you showed me stars at night.
You led me to foreign land.
I really do not know
how I became adult.
I have no certificate of love.
I have no guide for morality.
No body ever share with me human ethic.
In my youth I just float in the wave of the sea.
Enjoying the chillness and rocking the life with
celebration.
I did not know in my adolescent
That what ever glitter is not gold.
I was busy in
collecting such Gold.
In the course of time I swallowed poison like honey in the
rock.
Then the night came worse then first and second world wars.
I was alone in the open field.
My enemy trapped me in the moon light.
It was a great tussle between life and death.
I cried with all my strength and power
But only moon and stars went on twinkling whole night.
With my vulnerability I cried for life.
But no shelter was fitting me
The whole nature remain silent
My entire being felt everywhere stranger.
The path, mountain, valley and crop field
Failed to support me, I as person, under the heaven
On the earth in the air remained helpless.
