ALONE.......

In the temple of mother's womb, so calm,

I was singing  a lonely psalm,

Her love protected me  from all harms,

Her care was like a soothing balm.

Whosoever had born must someday die,

I hope this may take some days to go by, 

The cruel clutches of death none can defy,

Entombed in darkness, all alone I shall lie.

Lights of world or darkness of tomb,

Desolate  tomb or mother's sacred womb,

All alone in solitary confinement,

Humans are just perishable consignments.

Afraid to take leaps from mental prison,

The world is blurred from field of vision,

Prejudices keep us locked up in divisions,

I refused to listen to anyone's reason.

Like an object in attic of forgotten things,

Traveler awaits soul to depart with wings,

I am all alone  just on my own,

Beating streets of life letting out a groan.
