DILEMMA

 

DILEMMA

The holiday travel experience is thrilling,

Green Hills Tea Garden fresh feeling,

Gentle slopes narrow the path in the maze,

The silence quietude visible amaze, (1)

 

Far below a blue stream, river flows,

Scenic place, Lord's paradise owes,

Proceed on narrow routes, enjoying,

Caught sight of a person yet moving, (2)

 

Matted hair, auburn, torn clothes, tall,

Heavy baggage behind bearded all,

Refused to talk to us and looked away sad,

He was silent until evening came forward, (3)

 

He was smoking at an old monastery,

We overtook him and reached a mystery,

Looked a million stars dark night wish,

Profound peace silence tea cup relish, (4)

 

Nothing is visible far below darkness,

Perception of my existence impresses me,

No more the world exists, I survived,

The nomad I saw earlier, if perceived, (5)

 

Mischievous thought looked at stars,

Thousand missiles falling cities scars,

It is astonishing to see a comet-lighted path,

Compared to missile devastate wrath, (6)

 

In complete darkness, people are dying,

Dilemma human mind unholy defying,

Death everywhere, why it happens,

Hatred rules the human heart tightens, (7)

Felt perspirations fear, thinking of war near,

Sad human life history fiery massacre,

Cried that night in the hotel room sadly,

Opened the window cold breeze readily, (viii)

 

Dawn break bright sunshine glorious,

Packed my luggage mood humorous,

The forgotten feeling of the past night looks,

Dilemma trapped not me more crop up, (9)

 

Down below the airport landscape view,

Intact metropolis, busy human renews,

Dilemma captures at a lonely place probe,

May humans solve warfare time resolve. (10)
