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)
