Lights of unknown desire,
Making me blind-
I was a very ordinary man,
Before I drank the river of Lethe;
I drank whole of it,
Drop by drop;
It penetrated my veins,
Like an injection of Heroin,
Still I could see lucid dreams,
Each day and each night…
What should be done?
Who will bell the cat?
Who will find the way for Odysseus?
There is no Adam left,
In the colonized streets of Gotham City…
Stories of Abraham and Joseph are lost,
In the mist of adulterous time…
Where are the Khidher and Moses of this era?
Where are Ram, Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad?
Who will be the Messiah?
In this plagued global village…
