Dying Bonds

By Shwetha Mudalegundi

Amid destiny,

That burns the heart stricken by ill,

That let loose the strings, in bonds and ties

 

For wavering streams cripples the stones,

And yearns and yearns,

To hills of wills that disdains my crimes,

For graining grasses turns lifeless,

Clinging to streams

 

For the tormented world has blemished my coins,

Blocked me from soaring, to the world of compassion, to the kindling lands,

And be gone from this stricken world of mimicked pride,

That veil of immortal hunger, in striving crucifying horror

 

Labeled to serve, this prejudice stand,

Shall fault my plans, for to win a coin,

Shall suffer a million annihilation, in this undying curse of our realm,

For even loquacious talks can never decline this world,

For being one out of a billion, has dimmed wealth twice poised of ragged beauty,

In this maze, never ending never dying,

We seek the path, the path of destiny,

In one menacing frail bond
