Crickets screech in hutments
I escape their horror through dark lanes
Covered in fallen leaves
Books close down in mind, heart yelps in despair
On the other end of memories
Pains, pangs and dreams flowing in little streams
Forests inaccessible to birds and skies
Lanterns shone in brightness
pontiffs chanted faiths, purities and doctrines
While telling beads in godly names
Several lessons at one stretch
Children with eyes wide open
Learn about their destinies, heaven and hell
Not away the grave yard with calm and peace
Covered in shrouds of plants and leaves
Where love and hate embrace
Journey of memories, revolutions of the Earth
Nights and days, moons and Suns
Notes-
*Kesses- a kind of songs originating from Muslim
culture in Kerala** A temporary construction for
accommodating guests or attendants on special occasions.
Here in the mosques of poor people, such Pandals were
constructed as religious schools. They can be compared to
the earlier chapels of the Christian church.
