How will I tell my sorrow? <br />To whom will I tell my sorrow? <br /> <br />Heart breaks, body shudders <br />Throat blocks, tear pours. <br />I find no words. <br />Heaving chest drenches, <br />In stream of tears. <br /> <br />I find no way, <br />To break this cage. <br />Am I an eternal jailbird? <br />Knotted in a cage made by myself! <br /> <br />Unable to loosen the clutch of ignorance, <br />Unable to find the root of ‘I’ the ego, <br />I pretend to be wise, <br />By walking among the sheep, <br />As another sheep. <br /> <br />Know not where to go, <br />Know not what to do, <br />Pursuing external knowledge, <br />When the heart is dark, <br />With thick clouds of feelings. <br /> <br />From the brain a storm <br />Blows with thoughts, <br />To fan the burning ego. <br />The ever burning flames <br />Of Sun may die one day. <br />Will the ego die some day? <br /> <br />Where does the world go? <br />Where do I go? <br />What is the intention <br />Behind the monstrous universe? <br />What am I? <br />What is world to me? <br />Pushing away these <br />Problems of crisis <br />I pretend to be very busy <br />In making money and making love <br /> <br />At times the honest heart <br />Mocks at my hypocrisy <br />Knocks me from inside <br />To wake me up <br /> <br />Unable to bear the hits <br />Unable to tear the skin <br />I cry I cry and I cry <br />As an infant cries <br />To express its twinge! 021208<br /><br />Raman Savithiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/797-as-an-infant-cries-i-cry-i-cry-and-i-cry-021208/
