(Under the Twinkling Stars)
Dark is the night,
Save for the one day –
– less, Full moon
And the Twinkling Stars,
Talking amongst themselves,
Like the bunch of ‘chongas’,
In the ‘wapals’.
A few, from whose
rooms, refracted lights come;
The second ‘katas’ of the,
– wall clock, keeps me,
Company, Little noises
here and there, an almost,
a warning, Or sounds
of cowardice. Sound of
a speeding vehicle has just
– passed, If ye be
– a brave man, not a coward;
Come out to the Judge, in the high,
“To err is humane, but,
To forgive is devine.”!!
