Ages and ages of days and nights <br />Have got alternated under this light pole. <br />These four roads have merged here <br />A million times day in and day out. <br /> <br />This light pole gives me* <br />the cover of the dark: <br />Yes, I am begging; <br />Begging and begging <br />the whole world that passes by me <br />‘see men, this is the way of God’ <br />He puts on the guise of a beggar <br />And sits under a light pole. <br /> <br />Ages and ages of days and nights <br />Have got alternated under this light pole. <br />No one has ever seen anyone at all <br />Who've been here; during day or night. <br /> <br />What’re these cross road and the light pole? <br />One is the way of the mortal, the other? Of God! ! ! <br /> <br /> <br />* A beggar under the light pole at a cross section<br /><br />A. Jayaprakash Jayaprakash Panicker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-under-darkness/
