SOLILOQUY

In the silence of a night, in the blissful mood,
Whenever I look into the heavens and I hear the stars speak
Sometimes with each other, sometimes with me.
Then I believe an audience is never in need
And I may recite a poem!

In the evening of a hazy and misty sky,
Whenever it rains, I listen to the songs sung by raindrops
Sometimes individually, sometimes in chorus.
Then I believe an audience is never in need
And I may recite a poem!

In the span before the dawn, in every fortuitous acquaintance,
Whenever I see Venus and express my enigma about 'love'
Sometimes she smiles at me, sometimes refutes my mind.
Then I believe an audience is never in need
And I may recite a poem!

In every momentous argument and every trifling conversation,
Whenever my friend says how my character must be more comprehensible
Sometimes to the world, sometimes to myself
Even then I believe an audience is never in need
And I may recite a poem!

But..........

In every breath one takes, every time of the unforeseen life,
Whenever I could find the human race at an unimaginable extent
That one could say, "the world has no countries,
Men have no religions,
One needs no ruler and no rules,
Women are no more meretricious but are
Either wives or mothers or pure lovers,
There are no more demons and demagogues,
No more knives and rifles, no guillotines and bombs,
No such vocabulary at all in use,
No more revolutions and politicos,
Whenever the sound of peace resounds alone
And only the tears of happiness are felt everywhere
In all the corners of the world, in every story untold,

Oh boy of such an era,
I pity you for you can never recite a poem,
As the history of the world of this kind itself will be
An ode of exalted emotions and elevated principles
And the life of every audience will be an ineffable poem!
