Second Coming <br /> <br />There is news of battles <br />Fought in the neighboring states, <br />Nations rise against nations, <br />Still there are marriages, <br />Hilarious visits of tourists <br />In the red deserts <br />And the turbulent shores; <br />In a lovely family of four <br />Father hasn’t returned home, <br />Son was grabbed in front <br />Of mother’s questioning eyes, <br />A whole family left <br />A giggling red child to live! <br />Is it the second coming? <br />The trails of much awaited Lord? <br />Were they lifted for eternal bliss? <br />And these are left for lasting doom? <br />Then why there are measures half done, <br />If it is the Lords Day? <br />“Home is a place when you have to <br />Go there, they have to take you in”* <br />My kins of Sri Lanka <br />Where will you go? <br /> <br />-J.T. Jayasingh <br /> *(from Robert Frost’s poem)<br /><br />J thampi Jayasingh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-coming-3/
