IN A CONFLICTING WORLD<br />

Far…far beyond the region<br />

Where winds blow,<br />

Barred are the see-through gateways <strong>of</strong> the wind.<br />

Leaving for us, no empty space<br />

Even to stand<br />

And left far…far behind<br />

Are frenzied, wrathful times<br />

And opportunities <strong>of</strong> hearings.<br />

Are we intruders or exiles?<br />

We know not<br />

And then, gently, unhurriedly<br />

The cadence <strong>of</strong> rippling waters and swaying trees fade away.<br />

But, nevertheless<br />

Some dark visionless shadows, are discernible on the horizon<br />

Groping for, something<br />

Where nothing is!<br />

From the casements <strong>of</strong> eternal justice<br />

Issue forth, shrieks <strong>of</strong> agony<br />

And<br />

Like feathers dropping in the infinite silence,<br />

Enter the region <strong>of</strong> eternity,<br />

Into an ancient museum .<br />

Where,<br />

Transmuted into granite<br />

Do they eternally stand.<br />

The Department <strong>of</strong> History<br />

Throws light on these<br />

Which,<br />

The people <strong>of</strong> the age consider<br />

Nourishing for themselves.<br />

We find ourselves<br />

Imprisoned within a conflicting world<br />
