The Pendulum Awaiteth

a poem by Debjit Chatterjee

So wasn’t that yesterday,
when time struck the human face,
and fury redefined itself.

Just another moment gone
Noah’s Ark nor Jesus strong,
totally unavailable.

Children of a raging sea
long lost were, now so free
no more fear to swallow them.

What emotions should we feel,
confusion and a square meal,
is quite appropriate.

The pendulum which rocks time,
and makes savoury sweet the wine,
never sleeps.
