VIPINS PUTHOORAN - § Footprints §

Once I searched for salvation everywhere
With my blind mind and sinful heart
Through the breast of this secluded land.
But salvation was smiling at me
Because of my wickedness was myriad.
On the spur of a moment I fell down in a swire
Of this kaleidoscopic world
Between my sin and my life.
Where I lost the chastity of heart
And virginity of my soul.
And became broken and sectile.
None knew my lamentation then
I wished for a cherubic heart once.
But the voracious mouth of sin engulfed me.
Or I bowed my head before him.
Everytime I wanted or tried to see an azure sky
But never I saw a blue sky in the rest of my life.
Hark! if you follow my footprints
Which I left here in the abyss of sin.
Or if you walk through it
You'll reach here in a nadir like me.
And we cannot open our mouth here..
We will be enchained here,
Among the blood sucking vermin
Of a sulphurous hell,
Unlike we lived our past in a world.
Myriapod will crawl through your nostrils
And no one will hear your growl.
Myrmidons of the hell will beat you,
With the edge of sledge hammer in your head
For the grudge once you showed
To the downtrodden people of the earth.
Your flexible body will melt in a crucible
There the demons would be filling-
Your mouth with embers
For you'd never fed a pauper in your life-time.
The evil will whip on your back with an anchor.
Where you cannot fight with them
Alone or together.....
But surely that's a frightful sight.
Where you'll not have a life or death in hell.
Let your eyes forsee the right paths before you
But never follow in someone's footprints
