Insecure Earth Poem by lalitha iyer

Earth
hard and even
our steps
firm and strong
we carry
self with esteem
but,
every moment
you look into the inner eye
upon whose hand
the earth stands?

can't you see
that the land
you lean against
is on nobody's trust
earth in an axis
non-existent
Imagination
yes, it is just
an Imagination...

a fragment of
fragile thought
invented to
boost our heart
earth is roaming
let loose
just by sheer chance
no accident loosens
our existence too
is just as uncertain
as earth's axis

We drifting
shifting our homes
hastily building our castles
just a bubble of life
too silly
to live in haste,
too painfull
to die as waste......
