Percepts of enlightenment & civilization to encounter The grim aftermath of tales unspoken from the galaxies afar Betokening Indian tales of deeper truths than ever, For the Great Spirit still swirls in gestures previously milder, At a snail's pace and surely winning the pursuit among souls or Is example better than pre-conceived precept? or “Is that a dog in the manger?” Now cherishing the viper? The human dilemma between liberty & authority? “Has mythology now become psychology?” A dingy white color in disguise of tranquility To suit the blemished features of the 21st century With fair women & brave men turning fables into verse, Yet Socrates’ doctrine about death bespeaks a wafture so callous! The new-age “iron claw” screams nastiness in time and space. The pretences of mankind like the puritan; Mars trapped in the net of Vulcan, Jupiter is serene and above the conflict to win, While Venus tries to fight upon the plains of troy That the Greek gods of serenity may win at Tuscany. “When do these sultry groans of mortal remorse cease?” To calm the sordid uproar that Love may peruse Through the scattered white aromatic rose petals In search of the scintillating path back to the highland stables Were snowflakes are an irresistible lure for the Arctic snowbirds! Nature herself is proud of her designs Yet! There is nothing grating in mortal cosmoses but direct villainy.
Sinister fate climbs the lonesome banister faster Before the “fanged dawn” descends nearer, As stronger minds virtually become weaker; These “shameless actors” are melted into “thin air” “Must they cheat themselves with that same foolish vice of honesty?” Mischievousnesses feed! Like beasts till they be fat, and then they bleed As they are led to bend the curve of “No return” Since it is only rational that after the darkest of nights There is a brighter day to reveal the true knights Of the once gloomy age of Democritus. Tis plain, from hence, that our vows Request hurtful intense things, or useless at the best.
