The Barren Triumph
War and peace....
Ever seen the sun rising
Behind the tallest building in the town?
Ever heard the charming bird
Or the wind howl?
Ever stared on a pigeon in flight?
Or seen the heavenly orange
Gradually turn to white?
Ever heard the pipal leaves,
Rustle in white light?
Or ever brought the moistened blossom
To your careless sight?
Yes! Yes! Heard, seen and felt all,
But at night in dreams:
In reality seen nothing,
But wars, threat and heard aching screams...
