Fragments

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.

Ravi Shankar Rajan

The burning sun scorched the land.
Orphaned animals die parched of thirst.
I am a sunflower.
I love the sun .

Power blackouts darken the hapless town.
Wind blows off dazzling neon lights.
I am a glow worm.
My glow never dies.

Men aim to reach the stars.
Women crave to humble the moon.
I am a dog.
I have no aims.

Powerful empires rise and fall every second day.
Time fades away the miraged nimbus of prophets.
I am a banyan tree.
I fight against time.

Trees are cut without remorse.
Wars are waged without pity.
I am a man.
I never change myself.
