All alone

The still & heavy darkness shrouded the earth.

Far away in the horizon the gloomy rain clouds pregnant with a rain – gliding lazily through the skies.

The lovely Moon not to be seen around.

The oceans roaring and lashing the shore with its violent waves: for the sins committed in the broad day light.

The twitter of the night bird: the glow of the fireflies, the night breeze on the reeds, the strange scents of the grass seed and the silence struggling to take command.

The occasional clasps of thunder tearing the skies, with lightening lighting burning the darkness away.

The listless soul – wandering on, with nothing to do and nothing done, driven by destiny, like a dry leaf blown by the wind

Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no one to befriend - and all alone

 The land of thieves' slaves and treacherous Bandit brutes from the west!!  The rogues and scoundrels Nothing but haughty tramps The nasty beastly hoard from the west Sailed the seas to plunder the east  Finders' keepers Loser's weepers Say petty thieves and pickpockets They display the booty on their royal crowns With no shame or the slightest qualms They walk in pride decked in loot From the very crown to the boot  Shameless wanton and proud display Of the looted wealth from far and away The land where the sun never sets, they say Because the sun too, is scared that they may steal him away
