THE LAST WISH

 

THE LAST WISH

 

 

How illusory the sunset evokes,

Trickster the mind react mocks,

Immersed in thought contempt,

Ran after golden deer attempts, (1)

 

Caught a few lost soon to shatter,

Fewer could catch, sad matter,

Nutshell possession, omission,

Overwhelmed life, an ambition, (2)

 

Less could think heart fulfilled,

Satiated gratuitous lo revealed,

It was a game right along veiled,

Human life nightmare unveiled, (3)

 

In pain, suffering, sadness to pray,

Hilarious mind jovial lives stay,

Forget the soil a birth grow up,

Water the mother's milk a drop, (4)

 

Impossible to live, inhospitable,

Great rivers millennia a parable,

Civilization grew at river banks,

Fertile soil golden crops blanks, (5)

 

A single grain without life fades,

Suffered land famine invades,

No more the sight realized sure,

Costlier than gold corn or water, (6)

 

Survived decades look at the land,

Sunset and sunrise magic wand,

Changed seasons cyclic married,

Wife then children loves carried, (7)

 

What I got as a human heavenly,

Heaven lacks pain, pleasure only,

Sweet and sour life smile tear,

Duality world exhibits appear, (viii)

 

Faced lost close ones, cried long,

Arrival of a child reminisce, song,

The country has given a shelter live,

Secure my home paradise believe, (9)

 

Love and caring wife, fun with kids,

Book of the life ordinary Lord heads,

Every day of my life, my country,

Events memorable record entry, (10)

 

Gratitude is feeling like a failure here,

The festival ceremony kin tear,

Everything I got inviolable faith,

Lived on the soil will die wealth, (11)

 

Merged my physical existence,

Mingle last breath with no resistance,

Where live freedom, equality a lot,

Stays liberty the last wish revolt. (12)
