From Darkness toward Light
Darkness is covered by darkness
layer after layer
light beyond the womb
is illusion.
Falsehood has spread everywhere
greed is covered by carcass
darkness in the nether world
dark hole in the sky
schizophrenics idiots and nincompoops
suffer from nebulosity
half-wits and cunning fellows
are consumed by their own follies
earthquake pestilence and deluge
the natural calamities
earth has witnessed many;
this is for the first time that
man has threatened nature and earth
warming nuking aiding with AIDS
Nature is a helpless spectator.
Religious fundamentalists
swarm like snakes on earth
whole body covered with burqa like things
they look at your heart
with vile eyes
without your knowledge
swarming and spreading out in alien lands
they kill themselves, kill others;
zealotsÕ swords like DamocleÕs
hang over your heads, close to necks
saints with the benevolent and the honest
hide inside the dark cave
nothing is spared, none are spared.
Hermaphrodites lesbians sodomites
prosper like models everywhere
itÕs an ill-gotten bastard time
but it seeks change earnestly.
All sleep when a thousand stars
illuminate the earth and sky
but they linger at the brink
of the half-conscious memories
trellised sunlight falling on forest floor
seeks the balls of light
at the source of darkness;
from the holed hideouts
they peep and peer out
the sons and daughters of light.
The skeptics yawn at their audacity
to penetrate the thick darkness,
at their impertinence
and unforeseen challenge.
