Where shall I go in these dark hours? <br />The moon of the strange sky has been unkind to me for long! <br />To me this darkness is an all pervasive demon. <br /> <br />When shall I sing my song in the midst of this ado? <br />The music of your world has been deafening to me for long! <br />To me these guffaws are like an ever intimidating monster. <br /> <br />How shall I see the world around me ever? <br />The faces of this world are all with a frown thrown at me! <br />To me they are like the masks of a totalitarian humanity. <br /> <br />What shall I do among these slaves of time? <br />The odour of their sweat has begun to blow towards me! <br />To me these homo-sapiens are just the shadows of a lost tribe.<br /><br />M.D Dinesh Nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-escapist-s-reasons/
