My Unknown Plight To The Future
From the third closest to the sun
I hope all this would soon be gone
Even though I have no form to transport (this)
I hope my little clicking friends would help
“To whom it may concern”
All around my voice echoes
Day and night my body feebles
When they rejoice,
I am at alert
When they moan,
I am at alert
When troubles dwells with them,
I am at alert
When they try new ideas,
I am at alert
When they move to hide away,
I am at alert
When they move to disturb my brothers and sisters,
I am also at alert
Oh! When will I have this rest of mind
From the daily running of athletes
To the rapid movement of those in a hurry
From the training boots
To the cruel black men
And messages exchanged by countries in no peace
From the never ending job of the overalls
To the never ending celebrations and night clubs
From the regular cultivation of my beautiful hair
To the regular mining all through my abdomen
For what have I done to deserve all this?
I seize to punish them by leaving
But give a warning by sliding
For then I am not considered
Because of their ever growing desire
To build up their abode
Leaving me to bear all
For they are like bacteria
Always spreading wide and far
Taking with them their tools to molest
My all beautiful self
Spraying all sorts of liquids
To make me a zone for building their mouth substance
Darkening my ever glowing me
Because of their selfish aim
To make their own sun
Even in their house
Oh! Why?
Am I at the last of me?
Poor and alone with no one
As the toxins from the liquid
Chase all that find me as a friend
As they never call me “home”
Due to the ever working man
Destroying my source of bond with them
Ah! Alas they have given me
The worst that I cannot bear
Having my eyes filled with tears
Can this ever clear?
I must confess
I cannot stand
The overloaded crowd
And their arts that fill me up
Soon going to make me go into extinction
All because of that big giant killer
‘technology’
For I am really weary
And tired of your “now we are”
Disturbing my heart desire
If only they can understand
The never ending disturbance
That makes me stay up all my life
Without a little time to shut my eyes
But to the “yet to come” I say
Have mercy on me oh I pray
That at least just for a day,
I can close my eyes to feel
What it really is to sleep.
