Squarely against

a poem by Purushothama Rao R

My heart turns as hard rock
When you play its love STREAMS down to unknown sea depths

My mind wavers in heavy gales
When you play odd games SPORTING against all my genuine wishes

Mt soul slips into soar thoughts
When the sweetness of my expression is encountered with paleness from your eyes

What should I do?
And how naturally should I behave?

When you are oozing hot fumes all around the world
How can I be cool and reflect soft moon shine?

When you desire to blaze like the mid summer day’s sun
On all my aspirations and hopes
With all the newly invented arms and ammunition
And smash them to ash DUST
HOW to keep myself calm without eschewing all these unhappy tunes?

With so much of uncompromising negative attitude
Pooh-poohing all my trials
To establish peace on earth
HOW CAN I PRAISE YOU AND YOUR ACTS
COINED SQUARELY AGAINST HUMANITY?
