RECLUSE

Far off civilization in lap nature thrive,

Ancient human colony a life of tribe,

Jet age, space age, high-tech is hype,

Abominable age of human recluse type,

Impregnable dense forest nature strikes,

Simple life of human naturally thrives,

Fierce tiger elephant predator prowl,

Snakes insects dangerous trap soul,

Wise forest life tribal fight hard secure,

Recluse from urban life protects nature,

Their cloths ornaments, unique is food,

Hunting animals, cultivating rice, wood,

Honey forest food water sustains plenty,

Mosquitoes breed fast tribal kids scanty,

Recluse from education nourished food,

Good cloths hygiene health none or crude,

Conscience of human questions outlook,

Highways megapolis education in book,

Constitution fails from recluse decades,

Development halts sharing in barricade,

Happiest are tribal face in dance nightlong,

Fever death birth marriage is nature song,

Unique marvel human life far from complex,

Recluse from urban life, serene to simplex,

Hospital, school, college, road, clinic houses,

Recluse from service to people wall to access,

 

Come O’ soul look modern mind in action,

Recluse from city to remotest out station,

Fascinates busy life solitude nature love,

Silence in mind silent landscape above,

Exhausted in crude complex life swirls,

Personal life, happiness, freedom wills,

Conjugal love seeks oasis in hot sand,

Modern life is a desert of crusher land,

All infrastructures of health education,

Assets, travel endless, works elimination,

Flesh bones love personal dream crushes,

Fake modernity pretensions quick misses,

Illusive is dual life of temptation or lust,

Recluse from truthful life humanity most,

Family fractured to cell for selfish aim,

Me, my wife, my kid matters like my name,

Parents recluse from rest rot in sad lonely,

Society ever mind utter neglect or be kind,

Classless a life boasts poor recluse in hut,

Affluence by side celebrates, poverty is hurt,

 

 Time has come, no travels and interaction,

 Infected feverish perishes recluse in action,

Mask is symbol of time avoid strangers firm,

Confined life fearful mind trust recluse arm,

Treating centers recluse from negative in fever,

A lone death struggle of life in bed recluse fear,

Nature questions conscience mankind,

Recluse from truth detachment rewind,

Corona if cleanses nature clean a torrent,

Transform lifestyle in nature recluse decent.

 

Objective of human spirit not as animal,

Food, drink, sleep, unite in shelter primeval,

Emancipation recalls soul to seek the goal,

Recluse in solitude in nature inner spirit call,

Mind is silent in thought, eyes, ears close,

Fragile is a frame, sit still awareness arose,

Recluse lifelong in quest, sojourn objective,

Realization unfolds, lasts, recluse is subjective.
