Orbit
Gravity of ignorance binds us into orbits
Knowledge of the unknown can break us free
Men have relished ,experienced,revealed
In languages we fail to decipher today
Sinking into the depths we grab a piece to keep afloat
We forget that we are all like a small leaky boat
Floating merrily down the moving stream
Methinks:Please look around the magnificent banks
Look up to the sky above and say your thanks
For the pretty coloured flowers,birds,animals,people
The song of the rippling water will lull you to sleep
The flowers' fragrance is not yours to keep
Fruits of your labour hang above in bowers
Either you eat or others its all the same
Try your hand at something new;don't feel any shame
Gaze up at the wondrous stars lying afloat
Don't worry- the 'oar' will keep safe your boat
When you reach the orbit's end cast off your coat
What were those writings in the Holy Books?
Now obliterated,splashed with ignorant reign
Tiny fragments of doctrines haven't eased the pain
The gentle squirrel clambering...its bushy tail
Black-yellow maneaters; model for every male
A poacher's bullet may make them carpets for sale
The wobbling ,the bouncing,the twisting,the turning
Till the "orbit" is over don't fear drowning
