EVERYBODY IS TIRED......ARE YOU NOT?

EVERYBODY IS TIRED

Everybody is tired of this steaming cloud
Shedding scorching heat on our skin.
We are tired of sleep-watching
To avoid an emergency exit from earth.
Everybody is reeking of poverty.
If only showers could rain heavenly goodness
To cleanse the sweat of wretchedness shining on our faces,
Men would be blind to the flashlight behind the oceans.

Everybody is angry at the flood
Stealing our possessions with no weapon
And they want to click on every grace available
To fly like eagle in the air
And land on the snowy fertile land like pigeon.
I want to live aye in this chamber of my ancestors.
But, I want to leave to maintain its existence,
For no coin is available on this land
To shelter our unclad bones
Let alone feed the glutinous belly of gods.
