HOMELESS BROTHERS
I was walking by the graveyard, late last Friday night
I heard somebody yelling, it sounded like a fight.
It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the night,
Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight.
So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go, Down in some hidden valley were their sorrows cannot show,
Where the police cannot find them, where the wanted men can go.
There's freedom when your walking, even though you're walking slow.
Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, that homeless brother is my friend.
It's hard to be a pack rat, it's hard to be a 'bo,but living's so much harder where the heartless people go.
Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to knowThat Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo.
And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill,And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of thrill.
And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill,And they're sad to do their living for some other kind of thrill.
Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can,that homeless brother is my friend.
Somewhere there was a woman, somewhere there was a child,Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild.
But some where's just like nowhere when you leave it for a while,You'll find the broken-hearted when you're travelling jungle-style.
Down the bowels of a broken land where numbers live like men,
Where those who keep their senses have them taken back again,Where the night stick cracks with crazy rage, where madmen don'tpretend,
Where wealth has no beginning and poverty no end.
Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can,that homeless brother is my friend.
The ghosts of highway royalty have vanished in the night,The Whitman wanderer walking toward a glowing inner light.
The children have grown older and the cops have gripped us tight,There's no spot round the melting pot for free men in their flight.
And you who leave on promises and prosper as you please,The victim of your riches often dies of your disease,He can't hear the factory whistle, just the lonesome freight train'swheeze,He's living on good fortune, he ain't dying on his knees.
Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can,that homeless brother is my friend.That homeless brother is my friend.

When doors are closed
I assured you myself
The exterior so crude and duping
You still looked with earnest eyes
When the words fell
And shattered my writing
The thunder that broke the prisons
So blatant a sight
Before long the echo of silence crippled me
You gloating fool
Believed like a deformed pacified
I never sought the meaning
A stay by the glimmer
Of something,of sliver,of trace
A trail inexplorable,an exhuming so futile
The far away explanation
So less voluminous with shreds of forsaken flakes
The shuddered steps so enshrouded
You will get the pending answer
The day I will forget to write
The day my nerves will rest
The day you will interrogate the glooming vain
I shall leave a whisper by your ear
To calm your insensibilities
The glint of the embers is of scant worth
Like that of horse who never careens off
The moment of retrieving will unlock my pain
That deepened unawares
That would qualify my smiles
That would make those hushes a deafening scramble
That would render the lurked,the stark,
The inflicts of voidness,meaningless
The mires of nihilism a glamourised mist
A moment that shall prove your doomed existence and failures.
After that there would be no harking back.

It was just a dainty night
In its blazing bosom senses
I trudged and turned back
A casual brush
On tracing the washed away innocence
The only car that honked on the streets
The only ruffian who howled and wandered
His words echoed the repressed prances and tamed thrills
Toed the edges of cliched and feared axioms
His song has little audience
It was lousy banal affair with nocturnal naivety
His bottle a muse for narcissm and the dog's eyes a symbol of self-glory
No mighty repulses,no signs of kins
Just loose hanging remorses
Like a salient criminal
He squats and conforms to called for agonies
A wrap,A shadow
He has a sense of waning conspiciousness
In the bottle the bubble holds truth
Waits for nod of none
Neither the pragmatic nor the ascetic
Neither the prudent nor the opulent
nether the cynic nor iconic
Neither myself nor himself
Every night and before dawn a life is murdered
A life whose later births remain incognito.

Like the pearl in a shell
Like the curled up pigeon in the waning refuge
Lets not throw up fears of sanctions
Let not for once blood and and diamond become synonymous
Let not the clay of blood become the cliched playarticles of children
Let not human killing instruments become instrumental in human existence
Let everyone control their livid hormones and raging possibilities
Let the baby sleep in peace
Lets not wake her up from raw floating dreams
Lets not prevent such dreams to rupture into reality
Lets not tell her that world is a bad bad place
A place for grim frames of inaction and maloccurences
A place where lives are extinguished out of intolerence
A ground with splotch and stench of blood
A ground,A grave for nameless bodies
Dont rush,just trudge and see
How labour sows slews of alternatives aginst ceaseless killings and habitual strifes
Just walk and feel the restlessness of positvity
Stop scurrying to pulverise homes and charr lives
Allow the wife relish returns arising from extols and ackowledgements from her blood kins and spouse
For the food she makes
Its that time of the day she maximises her worth and bathes in self-contentment
Lets not make her the deprived damsel
Let the child lurk behind his mother
Let the child play with fake guns
To make a show of his innocuous power and not-so-refined gallantry
Lets not translate such veneer of childhood musings into blocks of realism
Let them hear the sounds emanating from battery-induced guns and not witness splotch of blood as consequence
Let them realise that causing deaths are not their prerogative rights
Let not the diamond dazzle and gleam with a murky scar
Let the acts of plunder and nefarious killings be adjugded
Let for once delineate the rationale behind human existence and prevalence of peace and sanity
Let for once question god and ask him
I know, i concede, i nod
He will tell you what human lives seek over the past million years
Let the baby sleep in peace
Let not rip her off from the sheath
Lets not crush her heart and organs
Lets not reduce her to tatters of oblivious object
Let her cry and react
Let her build the innate impulses
Let her see what blood relations are and not flaming blood
LET THE CIVIL WAR END
Let SIERRA LEONE,UGANDA,ETHIOPIA spearhead peace movements
Let the use of arsenals of arms and ammunitions become an extinct operation
Let the baby sleep in peace
Like the pearl in a shell.
