Witness

Cliff of feelings whirl,
Around the abyss of mind.
And then, in the fields of desire,
Drudgery starts.

Rulers hide their emptiness
And have their mask put on with their hands folded.
Then, an actor starts a life.

Landslides are eager
To turn the base over.
Earthquakes are ready to raise a foot
To shake the earth.
Floods rustle
To inundate the creation.

A stage gets decorated
With ribbons and accessories.
Songs get written;
Music gets composed.
Gradually,
A dead becomes alive.
Dream seems like a reality.
Audience get confused.
Whistles are blown.
Applause is heard.

Universities become meaningless.
Professors kneel down and beg for knowledge.
Statues of God get decorated by footsteps.
Intellectuals end up in ditches.
Laureates get incarcerated.

Cacophony is off.
Brain is asleep.
Fearless, unexcited;
One Witness,
Just watches and listens.
Whether eyes open or closed,
The witness is always awake;
The witness always awakens.
The witness is always awake;
The witness always awakens!
