A Human Being

A human being lives

by dynamic movement

Changing every minute

And discovering value

 

In every vein of the body

In every sparkle of the eye

In every fibre of life

And in the quest for fulfilment.

 

A human being symbolises

An ocean of warm, red blood.

People cannot live

In a dungeon

                     Oppressed, tyrannised and tormented.

No longer can they live

Imprisoned by space

And bound by limitations.

 

A human being craves

For a piece of the sky

And unbounded space

In which to smile.

 

The sky is the limit

For today's human being

Who desires to be the companion

Of the clouds in the sky.

 

Today's human being rides on the wind

And moves with the moon.

Today's human being longs to live

A purposeful life.

Dream World 

When I wake up every morning

With the memory of a rosy dream

I feel the keen desire

To build a new world for humanity.

 

I am tired of living among tyrannised

Suffering and oppressed people

I would rather turn into fire

And bum for a while

In dark cities and towns.

 

I am tired of suffering,  

Wrongs and injustice

I cannot worship

Stone images in temples.

I am tired of being

A mute spectator

To repression and tyranny

 

I must revolt with all my might

To build

A new and happy society.

We must all build

A society where people

Will live happily

In amity and concord.

A new world of joy,

Harmony and peace

Where all  will be equal
