THE CRUMBLING WALL
Time erases weather play havoc,
Landscape people lost mind sock,
Ever friend visited the palace in ruins,
Crumbling wall weeps jungle wins,
Endless stories valor affluence ink,
Tragedies heart-rending door wink,
Crumbling wall symbol of symmetry,
Past is in ruins new growth of the tree,
Gasp, the Creator’s will break n make,
Crumbling wall only transience shake, (1)
Look at burial sites cremation ground,
Quiet a place life span in grass sound,
The drama of human life epic story rewrite,
Hard toils building city big day n night,
Decades took dream castle home yield,
Dwellers merge on earth, a lot who build,
The crumbling wall at palace home temple,
Stands in ruins at final abodes simple,
Wall once a shelter secure poor or rich,
Witness mute to regal or rustic bewitch,
Arch, minaret courtyard gate doorless,
Temple ruins broken wall well impress,
Ah.., time merges crumbling wall equal,
King’s palace, subjects’ homes signal, (2)
The crumbling wall once dazzles life exotic,
Servant worker landlord female mystic,
Busy river of life, luxury comfort power,
Immense wealth ornament poor cower,
Celebration festival community intense,
Lord minister king queen cute pretense,
Crumbling wall soaked in mirth music,
Dance of public dancers ring nostalgic,
Bullock cart, horse-driven chariot lost,
People royal men, female vanish most,
Crumbling wall knows all soaked well,
Good deed cruel sin pain laughter dwell,
Silent crumbling wall search past in vain,
Ever time rollback let renaissance regain, (3)
Ruler oppressed suppressed wealthy,
Warrior farmer trader traveler healthy,
Disease sufferer female child and priest,
Untouchable cursed caste lifelike a beast,
Affluent noble brave weak harbor class,
Wall divide among people stink feudal,
Bricks litter few glitters sing lives regal,
Crumbling wall stands alone in solitude,
Creeper bush moss covers hint beatitude, (4)
Windswept desolation sleeps in innocence,
All merged with soil miracle as classless,
Walls crumbled ego, humble thick n weak,
Fertile ground ashes all mixed death lick,
Mind enquire crumbing wall stand bold,
Whispers wall answers messages gold,
Wall divide people, crumble, time cleans,
Crumbling wall mental barrier it means. (5)
