The ‘Tricolour’ That Binds
Saffron for
strength valour sacrifice
White…peace
And green for
growth prosperity
The little angel
listens in rapt attention
To the erudite
mother
Wide-eyed…
Fifty years later…
A gentle voice
Repeats
Saffron
White
And green
A frail voice
whispers
How beautiful…
You once explained
Remember…
Who…your mother...
The cycle
continues
And the story
weaves
Of two lives
Of all
generations…
***
Their Story…
They have all left
The old bricks
The broken walls
Mourned in grief…
The wise old tree
Clung closer
Entwined
intricately
The new leaves
glistening
In the soft rays
But I remain
My roots delve
deep
Our story
continues
Your and mine
Men with axes
Blows and strikes
Deafening
Echoing
Young buds in
agony
The old withered
The tree silenced...
The bricks and
walls
Witness
In silent terror
They know
It’s now time…
Time
And
Civilization…
