the day will change 4

The lap dogs in the dark tunnel

Quietly they move with tails between legs

Tongues pointing out with dripping saliva

“We have escaped haven't we?”

“We don't know

It's so far ahead

Do you hear that?

The running water?”

The dog catchers nodding their heads

They pump in water from the lake

The rushing impact tearing debris away

The lap dogs shiver recognizing it

“Hey we better run!

This isn't the place to hide”

They puff and run

Straight into the darkness

The rushing water rumbling along

From behind they see the rush

“Oh no we are trapped!

As they run into the long rattan cage

Every one of the lap dog

Dashing to freedom in the rattan jail

They puff and bark at the dog catchers

“Take the dogs away!”

“What are you going to do with the dogs?”

“Don't you they have bounties on their heads?

These dogs are specially made for the rich

Now we will send them to the factory”

“Did you hear that?

We are doomed for picking the wrong choice”

The lap dogs bark and whining

Their fate sealed in the factory floor

The van cruise into speed

Reaching the factory within minutes

“Unload the dogs

We are done here!”

“Go try the main door?”
One of them walk to do it
He finds he can't open
“Sorry guys it is locked!”

“Hello boys!
Welcome to my home
Let the game begins
You will learn your lessons”

The black cloth shadow appears
On the fire place smiling away
“You don't have to be afraid
The unknown is for you to find”

They turn around
Staring at the black cloth shadow
“Get prepared guys
For it will come...”

“Can't you let us go?
We have suffered in our walk”
“Guys your pain just started
You haven't learned your lessons”

“You better go to your room
Each room for each person
Lock the door as you fall to slumber
The story will begin in a short while”

The black cloth shadow disappears
Leaving the fear with the guys
“We better stay together
Split we will lose the game”

So they take a room
Every one stays as a group
Some take a shower
Some fall asleep

The stories of their lives
It will begin they know it will
They can't escape
This much they will know

“Now my dark castles
Walk in and enjoy your life”
The group stands at the door
Fear gripping into their lives

“Is this the final chapter?”
We never know unless we open the door
Maybe it is just a trick to make us fall
We mustn't give up just someone's story”

One of them pushes the door
The creaking sound travels into the night
On the wall the candles light.....
On the table fruits and water

The living room large with sofa chairs
A coffee table lays at the center
Book cases on every corner.....
Books of many titles on any subject

They pour drinks
Gulp it down quickly
They are very thirsty
They are very hungry

Then they survey the rooms
There are 12 rooms for each of them
“Why so exact?
Don't you feel something fishy here?”

“We had travelled many hours
We haven't got our proper meals
And you feel something fishy?
We are lucky to find this castle”

Then they stare at the fire place
It seems to light it up by itself
“Now you know something fishy...
The whole I guess it is!”

“12 rooms 12 of us
In this dark forest we hardly know
Now we are trapped....
There is no window to escape”

They just run
Run out of their lives
Lives of precious diamonds
Diamonds in their souls

Yet they forget to think
As the run with the black cloth shadow
Leading them into his dark castle
Standing majestically stopping their run

“What is this?
Any one knows?”
“The dark castles of the forest
I read something about it”

“What is inside of these castles?”
“As far as I know nothing!”
“You mean no soul in it?”
“Something like that....”

“We are spooked
We are in another dimension
We rushed into it
As dawn is approaching”

“Look around us
There are lights in the darkness
Don't you think something spooky?”
“Hello boys why wait?”

They look upwards
Listening to the laughter
Echoing in the silent night
“It isn't over and you know it!”

“Come on black cloth man
It isn't funny at any more
Changing scenes as you wish
We are tired and we haven't slept”

“Is that a problem?
Is your life worth a sleep?”
“When you sleep, you will not wake up!
I don't think you will like that”

mosquitoes

The black cloth shadow
Laughing as he disappears
Into the misty white background
“I am watching you!”

The drivers of the political parties
Listening with thundering heartbeats
They look at each other knowing what they did
“Will it end quickly for all of us?”

“I am no magician
I can't say of our future
In this dark forest we are in
The dawn is approaching”

“Do you listen?”
“Is it waterfall?”
“We are saved aren't we?”
“We never know”

As they track down
The sound of falling water
Splashing downwards on the fall
They see it “God is great!”

As they approach it
Little insects flying upwards
Buzzing in their ears....
The pests challenging them

“What are these?
“Aedes mosquitoes!”
“Is this the punishment?
“No medical supplies!”

They run backwards
Far away from the buzzing insects
The tiring souls yet find no peace
Then they see the black cloth shadow

“This way boys
Move your ass quickly!”
They run without thinking
Away from the Aedes mosquitoes

The laughter in the dark forest
They get the feel of fear.........
As they huddled together plotting
Ways to get home...........

They look at the sky
A few stars shining in the dark clouds
From it they see the dark outline.....
Of forest and the misty shadows

“No....they are still here
Floating amongst the trees”
“I tell you we must repent
This is our only chance!”

Fear make quick decision
Decision to get the monkey away
Away from the dreams of life
Life where harmony should rule

Rule of the game
Game of truth and fair deal
Deal in what we do every day
Day in our lives doing good deeds

The leader smile
“Look light is rising
Then we can discuss again”
“Yeah we still stuck in the forest”

“Now we know
Our greed and power can't work here
In this dark forest other elements rule
There isn't a reason to smile Sir!”

“Hey boys!
The sins will come
Payback will knock your doors
You can't escape; you can't hide!”

“Who are you?”
“I am the truth seeker
I punish those who sin
You are one of those people”

dark shadows

Now the group can't turn back
There is no bridge for them to do
Forward march they must go
They look at each other “now what?”

The misty night shadows
Floating into their view
Emerging from the dark forest
The misty shadows move

“Guys we better hurry!
This isn't good in the forest
These misty shadows aren't human
We must stay together!”

They run following the trail
Legs pounding hard on the wet ground
Hitting broken twigs and fallen leaves
Breathing heavily they run

The misty shadows laugh
“You can't hide from your sins
No matter where you want to hide
We will come to you.....”

They run for hours
Finally they stop
“We can't be running
We must find a way home”

On the big boulders
They stop take a break
“What are those misty shadows?”
They seem to know us”

“Maybe they are us
The way we have sinned
In our political power and greed
Our conscious telling us....”

“You don't talk rubbish
We must find a way home”
“Unless we repent of our sins
Maybe the spirits will let us go”

Blood Mountain Falls – GA

The leader of the group
Listening to the talk....
Of things gone wrong
Of events taking them apart

The pack of wolves
They will tear each other apart
When the meat is scarce
The strong takes it all

He walks nearer
Looking at the white mist
A face he knew familiar
“Doom, doom, doom!”

The greed of power
A man will do anything to get it
When it is in his hands
There is no way he is going to give away!

“Well guys I haven't a clue
It's perception derailing one's career
In this hour you want to disagree?”
“We want the truth no more lies!”

The drumbeats hitting louder
In the dark night it sends shiver to one's spine
The fear rearing its head to tempt the soul
In this forest the group decide to stick together

Quickly they move away
Towards the sound of the waterfall
Back tracking wasted an hour to two
Until they find a trail winding through

Half way through the trail
They hear voices chattering away
They stop ears piercing sharp to listen
“You can't escape your sins!”

They turn around
They don't see half the trail
They open their mouths to say
Words hardly formed.....

White Shadows

Into the darkness of the valley
They walk down feeling tired and drained
With the wind softly carrying their breathing
Somewhere the natives wake............

“Hold it guys
We need to break here
A few trees we can hide
We wait for light....”

“Look watermelons!
So many growing here”
Every one rushes to see
“Now we can quench our thirst”

In the silent night
They hear drumbeats
“Doom, doom, doom”
“What is the sound?”

“Somebody's celebration
In this forest we can't be sure”
“Natives?! Oh my god!
The head hunters!”

“We better move
We can't stay any longer
Move it every body
We must find a way home”

Now every body sees
A woman waves at them
Smiling as she floats away
“Who's she?”

“You better ask him
Our leader who hides his side businesses
You should be able to tell us his story”
“I have to nothing to tell”

“Yeah she looks like the woman
Mysteriously murdered and dumped
Bombed into kingdom come!”
“You have to tell us why”

The girlish image
Brightness shine a while
Background the darkness fence
The tiring souls minds playing tricks again

The bright image smile
Endearing yet seem far away
The tiring eyes try to understand
The night ghost comes?

“Hey see the woman there?”
“What woman in this forest?”
“You don't see her standing by the tree?”
“My friend you are losing your marbles”

“Stop! Stop! Take a break!
There is a woman out there
You don't see her amongst the trees?”
“It's only a white mist”

“Something we do
Taking wealth in our ill-gotten gains
Now we are in this sheet hole
Don't know where it will end!”

“All you saw a woman in the dark?”
Isn't a sign something we did are wrong?”
“These people have brains yet they lost
We shouldn't be at fault....................”

“Stop the argument!
We need to move on
We haven't found our way
Save the energy move shall we?”

The silent walk
Through the darkness
The woman waves
As the group disappears

Lost In The Dark Woods

“Did you hear that?!”
That the darkness makes
Makes the mind turning dreaming works
Works to get it right to live

Live in this dark forest
Forest we are banished to walk
Walk into the trap of our greed
Greed the fall for many

“So we better make a decision
Either left or we turn right?”
“We turn left
And let the future shine for us”

They walk for hours
Carrying their tiring bodies
Yet the future seems so far away
They don't know the time of day

They come across a stream
Streaming water clean as light of day
They stop to refresh themselves
They don't see the forest changing

By the time to want to go
The images have changed
They try to to look patterns
They don't find any

They are totally lost
In the darkness of the forest
The fire-flies flying around
Glittering night for a while

Dark Forest

The tiring drivers
Stopping at the T-junction
They have to decide
The journey to their souls

The dark sky offering no assistance
Only the darkness greeting each of them
“Now where do we go from here?
Do we need to toss a coin?”

They hear the waterfall
The glass without mirror
The sheets of falling water
Splashing hard on the pond

“With all our ill-gotten wealth
Fooling the people telling them lies
Gathering our good fortunes
The party in power.............”

“Here we can't do a thing
In this dark forest we go
What are lessons to be learned?”
“Tell the truth and with honest work”

“Who said that!”
“I watch your every move
The way you make fool of the people
The wealth will not help you...”

“Show yourself
This isn't a child's game”
“You are right
The darkness will make you cry”

Suddenly a strong wind blowing
Bending branches blowing away leaves
The whoring sound of the angry wind
“You are the unsatisfied lovers!”

Forest at Night

The dark sky the darkness tell
On the drivers walking in single file
Dragging tired feet hoping to find a place
In the jungle they curse their lives

Listening to the waterfall
They walk quickly to find the source
Thirsty episode the hunger calls
In the darkness they still push on

The silence in the darkness
They tune their ears to listen
There is nothing to hear at all
They walk fear in their minds

“We better take a break
In the forsaken place”
“Are we in the jungle?
We seem to walk in circle!”

They look around
In the darkness they can't tell
They can feel the soft breezes
Whoring like unsatisfied women..

“Do you hear?
Women crying in the dark!”
Every body tenses up
Pitching ears to listen

It is only the wind
Brushing leaves and branches
Whirring softly capturing imagination
Then the sparkles of fire flies

The drivers stare
Afraid of the dark now
“Are these ghosts?”
“How do I know?”

They walk quickly
Breaks are over
Along the narrow path
The arrow shows

The little girl brings them
Along the edge of a mountain
Hours of walking finally here
The scene of how nature glow

The drivers – leaders of their communities
Brushing hairs steady eyes watching the scene
The misty white clouds floating amongst trees
Independent yet sustaining the natural flow

The little girl points out to them
“Look at the mist......
Free at the wind blowing
Nature we must take care”

The drivers look to the scenes
Scenes of nature beautifully painted
Painted naturally in God's way
Way of the souls; way to live in harmony

The little girl turns around
“You have to learn
Though you think you are grown up men”
“We are little girl!”

“True and true
Yet you behave like children
Treating Mother Earth as toy
Destroying her beauty and natural glow”

“We want to live an easy life
What else we can't do?”
“Learn from the scriptures
Don't do to others; others won't do it to you”

The little girl waves
As she changes into the wind
“Wait!”
“You have to learn the hard way!”

Now in the jungle
The drivers gathered to think
They hear of voices of many kinds
Lingering imagination of the wild!

Nature

Mother Nature
Nature of dreams
Dreams into eyes
Eyes into minds

The drivers smell
The natural aroma floating by
The natural breezes
Whoring their souls

Feel the nature
It surrounds your life
The sustaining ecosystems
It's a cycle to purify

They sit on the grass land
Thinking what they have done
The years before pursuing of profits
Scaring the Mother Nature

They watch the misty clouds
Beautifully white mist turning into shapes
Then it breaks away into tiny pieces
Floating peacefully away

“What have we done?”
“You want wealth and easy life
Now don't get sentimental over it
We got our pursuits.....”

“Yeah now look at us
We are back in time travel
Look at the jungle of greens
Now tell us it is worth the prize?”

The little girl appears
Smiling sweetly eyes of bright
“Follow me this way”
“You again little girl?”

The drivers look at each other
The minds asking questions in silence
As they follow her in quiet walking
The wind whirring songs

The darkness falls quickly
Quickly the bodies need rest
Rest to recharge energy
Energy to walk for another day

Day as sleep takes over
Over the souls dreams flow
Flow of light into darkness
Darkness of sins where they belong

Belong to the pit
Pit of crying souls
Souls of hands and legs
Legs run without head

Head awakes by the noise
Noise of a horse carriage
Carriage stops by the well
“Well...Want a lift or not?”

Not wanting to stay behind
Behind the dark sky
Sky now with moonlit night
Night of sins living on the dark side

Side door they enter
Enter to another world
World they haven't seen
Seen in their eyes

Eyes observe the surrounding
Surrounding of pebble stones
Stones of gold and diamond
Diamond sparkles tempting fate

Fate is written in life
Life you lead and die
Die in good deeds or bad ways
Ways of the God scriptures flow

“How many days now?”
“We have no idea
We seem to walk in circles
On the city of neon lights”

The guy puffs his cigarette
Blowing it with his exhales
“Maybe we are in the dark side
We sold our souls remember?”

Betting on their lives
Lives of politics; game of fortune
Fortune camouflaged as projects
Projects where wealth is made

“We make our point
Why we aren't happy?”
“The ways we conduct our affairs
Only death will make us free”

“We have sinned
We fall to the dark side
We thought we wanted to live easy
One mistake now look at us”

The wealth of the nation
For the future generations
We destroy her natural resources
Leaving a poor state

They sit by the well
Solemn faces eyes of sadness
The way to their lives
Gambling on the dark side

Evil Baloons

The drivers sit by a well
Well of wishes; well of fortune
Fortune once they tried
Tried it got hooked then lost souls

Remember the time
Often spin by the old folks
Observe the rich guys
The way they make the nights

“You think we will ever get back?
I mean back to the way we were?”
“We make our wrong turns
We have to seek it out”

One inhales a cigarette
Blowing a big zero in the air
“I think we ask the well
Maybe we will get lucky”

Seeking fortune on others hard labour
Expecting lots of gains in shortest time
Earning it through deceptions and commissions
Knowing it is bad all the way

“I don't think we should try
We have done enough sins
Look at us alive or dead
We don't even know!”

Now we hear
The college rookies running bets
Learning the illegal trade they think is cool
When getting caught falling tears.....

We have put a weak foundation
The moral fibre punches of holes
There is no solid wall to fence it off
We are the ones creating the evil monster

Back in the alley
Alley of neon dark lights
Lights of their souls
Souls they need to change

They walk for hours
Hours in circles.....
Circles of where they should be
Be is just hard to find

One of them doze
Doze into the darkness
Darkness alone he walks
Walks on the railway tracks

Tracks he walks
Walks on for hours
Hours yet he can't finish
Finish the line of his curse

Curse of red eyes
Eyes glowing hard
Hard the ground he steps
Steps into sin the way of hell

Hell he sees
Sees it he screams
Screams into his waking hour
Hour his friends wake him up

“We have to change
Change for our own good
Good for our souls
Souls we must purified!”

The lost way
Of greed,lies, deception and deceit
The way of power crazy
Burning hell burning soul

The drivers walk
Walk with aimlessly
Aimlessly of life
Life get spooked

“Is it in the city?”
City of our birth?”
“We have no idea
We thought we were

“You know something?
We have sinned big time
Look at what we did
Siphoned off wealth....”

“It's our rights
As leaders we have our benefits”
“We did in in our wrong ways
We told lies and direct tenders”

They walk pass bar parlours
The noisy music and voices of vice
They see a nude woman
Alone with a bottle of whisky

Then they think
They can be her
Sins of their making
Punishment on their greed

They stare at her
The nude woman just ignore
She has her problem.....
Of people like them

When they leave
She gets up and disappears
She hopes she conveys the message
Turn into a new leaf
