Unforgetting

Monumentalised

for the words of humankind

light as a feather

The climb

Every step upwards

painful than the ones before

stairways, life’s prep class

— — — —

Hundred skin colours

and a million shades of light

admired world over

Pride for the nation

fluttering, soon decaying

print and piece of cloth

— — —

With bells and whistles

trials and tribulations

unsettled as beach

ups and downs, and sideways too

life, wavering pendulum
