At the mercy of the sentient being
Whose breath was like mono gas
With an elephantine emotion
Which jumped like a servant at his command
I croaked like a choked frog
In his hidden gutters
Gutters which obeyed their master
In soundproofing, aiding and abetting the crime of pain
II
Daylight now flood the candle light
Who boasted in darkness
And was worshipped by all eyes
Now day sits stroking my every whim
As the candle light is left at the mercy of the winds
Darkness has fled from its feet
Eyes no longer see its existence
It burns legs which trod without notice
Forgetting they too, can kill it
III
Time travels in turning favours
Wrapping its gifts in luck
Throwing them to the highest needer
He had his when I fell at his feet
Had his dance to dust me
When I crawled in his grounds
Now I dance not
But his eyelids are being whipped by even the airs
All is fair when time’s travels is completed
I smile, he smiled, you will smile
When touched by the visitor of luck
Life is such a wheel
Turning to hit down
At the same time to help some clutch up
