I Have To

By Jijo Joseph N

I have to travel...... 

where the sun never sets 

where dreams never rests 

where the Devils never treads 

where the hope never ends. 

I have to mitigate.... 

the thirst of flowers 

the dreams of purest guys 

the fire of ignited souls  

the agony of flow less rivers 

I have to perish..... 

with the mournful yesterdays 

with the severest soulless deeds 

with the untidy selfish heart 

with the lusty naked eyes 

I have to mourn... 

with the sacred massacres of the innocent ones 

with the sacred religion which hates man 

with the sacred text which teaches the treachery with the sacred water which never cleans the heart 

I have to fight... 

with the wingless burning deeds 

with the reckless haunting passion 

with the resilient unbowed heads 

with an inimitable thirst for wisdom 

I have to sleep.... 

with the breeze of burning desires 

with the birds of unquenchable flight 

with the tears that soaken feverish heart 

with the heaves of forging wisdom

I have to fly 

with the seagull that pieceth sky 

with the forebodings of forsaken slavery 

with the armsless loveable arms 

with the clever full unfettered chassis of brain 

I have to sojourn... 

in the wrinkled deserted minds 

in the corn less lonely barn 

in the heartless cunning gullies 

in the loveless lusty heads 

I have to listen... 

the voice of countless justice 

the roaring fathomless freedom 

the weird passionate song of nature 

the friends bosoms innermost anguish 

O Let me my friend.....I have to....
