The control

 

The vagabond breeze fills life

In the wayward waves of sea

While we tend to control the thrill

By dipping our palms in their design

The sea listened with a trumpet 

At the wonted shrill pitch of mahout

Today the tides break the fetters

That bind it to a frivolous shore

And crashes into the darkening woods

The mutiny of the unpaid loyalty, though,

Footprints camouflaged in another type

The tusk prods into the lush foliage

Unmindful of the shrill threatening pitch

The farm of cane is parched presently

But it holds promise of cherished fruit

While the clouds strike silver lines 

Into the greying noon in the day

Dumb, deaf and immobilized in the sludge

The beast of a disgruntled mind.
