Are we three-quarters
and 49 minutes
away from the shop
with 53 purple crickets?
Are we two-thirds
and about half an hour
away from the place
where they have a giant sunflower?
Are we 2 minutes
and 53 days
away from the green rhinos
with their green rhino ways?
I am going to take the subway.
So, I am at the station.
As I walk to the platform,
I see a dustbin.
It is as empty as the stomach
Of a homeless person who
Has not eaten for a week.
There is garbage around it.
People have surrounded the
Bin with garbage. They
Probably expect the bin to
Pick up this trash and
Feed itself. These people
Throw garbage near
The bin and then complain
That the world is not clean.
The dustbin is too
Weak to feed itself.
I think we need to feed
It instead of leaving behind
Its food near it.
We reach the top of the mountain.
It is as brown as wood from a tree.
My Labrador sits on the peak.
We can see hills below covered
With green grass. My dog feasts
His eyes on this vision. He is
Just enjoying the fruits of his hard
Work. Maybe even I should follow
His example and enjoy this sight.
After all, I worked very hard to reach here.
Oh, Macbeth!
I lose myself in your hazel eyes,
your shrewd ideas are very wise.
I wish you were mine.
your army is very fine.
Oh, Macbeth!
Some you have known forever
Others not so long
Maybe you have known them
Since you were 3 or 1 or 2
Whatever
Your best friend
You are in a dark room.
There is a door that is closed
All the time. There is a square window
Also. It is as big as the head of a
Teenager. It is your only
Way to connect with the outside
World. You see how the outside
World is and appreciate its beauty.
A window in our house may be
Just as ignored as a beggar
On the street, but here, in this
Dark room, it is as important to me
As a king is to his dear loyal subjects.
Romeo and Juliet
Loved each other very much
The hatred between their families
wasn’t enough to keep them apart
Their love was deep,
as deep as a pool,
a pool of darkness,
a never ending pool,
a pool with crystals,
crystals that shone,
a pool of wonder,
wonder why,
why their families fought’
Why did they have to be born,
born into those families
that hated each other?
Why oh why
did they have to be born,
born into these families
that hated, hated, hated
hated each other?
Spring is coming,
The sun is rising,
In the clear blue sky,
The birds are flying up so high!
Rabbits hop,
Chickens peck,
And lambs are being born,
It is Easter time,
Excited children,
Flowers are growing tall and proud,
Bright colours all around,
Hear the bees buzz,
See the butterflies flutter,
The sun is shining brightly.
