Jaundiced Eyes Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Jaundiced eyes
Declared the moon yellow.

Bewildered man affirms
The sun has risen in the west.

Sailor of a boat finds the world
Moving and deludes himself standing still.

Children whirl round in play
But not the surrounding buildings
And they dub one another a liar.

O my dear, I am committing error
Steeped in lust, anger, arrogance and greed
Always, everywhere, see here
Being dominated by illusion
And have fallen in the depths of darkness.
