Ubuntu
A Poem by Nayan
Song of hope and belief against the darkness of hopelessness and disbelief. Single twine that reignites the passion to move on against the backdrop of falling mankind. Which calls for humanity!
“Ubuntu” (means
humanity and mankind)
Devoid of the light of
the Sun
With darkened sight
and tearful eyes…
He runs to see his
life’s daylight!
Road to the future, is
Damaged and damned!
He still runs loaded,
with -
The Corpse of Mankind!
Glaze of the destined
knife -
Blinds the eyes of his
life!
It comes to sever the
supportive rope -
And so shivers his
tethered hope!
When the white turns
dark -
Faint little shine,
trembles behind the ark!
The veiled visions
clack -
The face so familiar
turns black!
Alone he stands,
Alone he runs…
But longs for the resurrection -
Of the moons and the
suns!
Modelled on goodness,
And moulded with hope,
He looks for that
Silver -
In the gold that were
sold!
As he runs, and runs -
His heart, with pain,
burns!
Calls his belief, do
not leave…
What if
he turns? - fears and weeps!
With looming
disbelief,
He cries to the sky!
And curses for his
grief -
To the One who lives
so high!
And then, he hears -
The smile of a child!
Who just now, from
ants,
Saved, a beautiful
butterfly!
He, thus touched,
sheds his tears,
Calls Humanity, for a
thousand years -
Belief back! In life’s
possibilities prime!
He runs, he runs "
Through the Sands of Time!
