Vanita Thakkar - * The Quest

History -
A story
Of past glory,
A lesson
Of time gone,
Never undone,
Of pride,
Of might
And insight
Gained and hurt,
Recovered and lost,
Of heaping wants,
Growing needs,
Wild as weeds,
Tall as trees ….

Frozen slabs
Of Time,
Ever freezing,
Ever flowing ….
Drawing,
Landscaping,
Wiping,
Winding ….

Where in this
Wilderliness
To trace
The roots,
The overgrowths
Of seizures
Of indecency
On modernity,
Laziness on
Cleverness,
Clumsiness on
Youth ….
In the crazy
Whirl winds
Of Power games?
