| The dying rays of light |
People suffer and forever suffer,
In the vast expanse of the universe
amidst the multitude of life
In the veracity of multifarious colours
among the reds of love
and the yellows of joy
With the pinkish shy
and the peaceful white
Black forever lies.
In the blooming heart lies hidden
the curse of the Sisyphus
For the sheikhs and the mullahs
and Brahmins of the Ved
here walks together,
Rabies and the monks
of modernity and traditional
to take the place of Prometheus
In the courageous smiles
deep seated are the sighs,
The sighs of life lived and a life not realised
Of all the expectations
and forgotten dreams
diluting themselves in the blowing wind
Suffering exist and Suffering remains
against the tides of space and time
Over the throne of brave Hercules,
rules the pain of Nemean Lion,
Beyond the joy of Helen and the Prince
the terror of Melelaus occilates
One minute past,
and the flicker of light gone
But amidst the dazzling light of laughter,
the dark abyss remains
The limited Elysium,
and the ever extending lands of Hell
over the water of vast oceans
and the burnings beneath,
Above the table of Zeus,
Cerberus of Hades reigns.
~Nafis Haider
