How? Poem by Mula Veereswara Rao

How?

Sorrow serpent
crawls in the
depths of the soul

Mirth became mirage
in the life cage

Mind oscillates between
Vacillation and vacation.

Mind bends towards dreams
Shattered dreams put me to screams

How can I write poetry on sunshine?
when four year boy quivers in the cold
While cleaning cups.

How can I write poetry on petals of rose?
when cheeks of prostitute crimpled
by cruel man!

How can write poetry on the child?
When childhood wounded by
Unbound discipline

How can I write the song of sparrows?
when arrows of injustice passes through
my marrow !


How? How? How?
