Unveiled Life - Visitor's Poem

by Barnali Saha
(Nashville, TN, USA)

You have forever been an eclipsed moon
Torn, mutilated and nescient
Trampled by the cruel feet of life
Your existence a bitter hope
The sun never rises in your horizon
Never the gloom bids adieu
Your tortured carcass shivers in agony
Freedom to you a myth, a fable told
Unheard are your cries of pain
Unseen are those tears
Your wings are pinned, your limbs chained
No hope of a new millennium can mend
The threadbare life that you lead
Forced are you accept rules: the bogus codes or moral life
In the name of god your independence snatched
And you are stoned to death
In His home all are equal; all are parts of his divine grace
Then why such aberration, why the disparity adorn the human race?
In His name you utter prayers, but those are also barred by men
Crushed are your prayers like you, chained and poisoned to death
Forever you stare at the starless sky, hoping to see a twinkle
Weaving dreams of a happy morrow, a day when the eclipse will fade
A morn will arrive when the struggle will end, when you will raise your head
The veil of agony will pass like a cloud and you will destroy the walls of pain
The moral code will be rewritten, now with the ink of humanity
Thy anger will burn to death the sore codes that torn you sunder
The dormant volcano in your heart will explode with thunderous sound
Breaking and shattering the vile world, melting the chains of freedom
A new world will be created thus, an unveiled existence will bloom
You will pronounce the day of doom; you will create a new life
All frustrations will cease to live, all exasperation will then end
Never will the river of pain shine, never will the impediments reign
In the deepest hour of the darkest night there is always the hope of dawn
One day the curtain will rise, one day the sun will be born
The world will genuflect before thy might and your unabashed tears will flow
A happy life is about to come, a new life awaits your arrival.
