Elegy Written in Mourning of the Young Songs!

by ghazal-ebrahimzade

When I share two or three days of the week to compose poetry I find myself on the exam session when severe merciless teachers ask us to write about “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard!” Elegies mostly are unprepared and never find time to turn to the appropriate types! They ask me on and on...and I ask them in the consulting area that how can we turn my blossomy song to elegies unwritten about the parish of those people, long time ago had been lost exactly on the exam time? How could you expect me to turn my naïve feeling to one of the catastrophic ones? > < > time is over time is up time is running time flies > < > Teachers shout, “ HURRY UP” when will they shut up?   I usually haunt by the bundle of words and circled with tumults of ideas as shining and variable as stars that like the savage river rush out to make me drowned. Very rarely I could find a way to breathe out. Elegies swirling randomly again and again to pose the question about whom shall we very soon defined, Mum?   >...O darlings...< …motionless corpse, wandering ghost, dead people around, >.. not stars..< >...O… no..<   Is there anybody nowadays to think about the “Country Churchyard” and elegies very appropriate to them at all, what a destiny! what a force! while a long time ago they were bestowed to the grand history of all mankind. O…no… Poor elegies remain unborn and sad in my thought…not forever… they laugh…and laugh…I can hear them, time is over and I’m a failure. < < < The blank sheet is going to be filled by songs wearing the long red robe of emotional loves or lust…they are tired of black mourning cloth of demise! they laugh and laugh and laugh since > < I 'm a murderer…tapping with dirk ….or strangling with a heavy rope of my heart….bloodshed everywhere: drops from my fingers to the height.  shout, scream and cry, they were innocent,  don' t want to die.  I can hear them. > < They are killed not to stay further in a cemetery of churchyard but to be born with a new style, either failure or corrupt…
