BEING AND BECOMING

Righting wrong or wronging right; Play of reason or fancy flights; Morning hope and gloomy night; Sketching dreams on darkened sight. Blooming hate and crazy drive; Cloak-like ways and organic strives; Empty heart but ambitious voice; Mechanised bonds and constricted choice. Parochial freedoms and faking joys;  Estranged souls but impoverished rise; Hardening will and innocence quite; Childish hopes and hopeless ride.

  Language speaks the Man; Causes agony and pleasure; Determines falsehood and truthfulness; Verifies integrity and insincerity; Codifies civilization and its Discontents. Language determines the silences; Its repressive instabilities; Its meanings and meaninglessness; Its peace and cacophonous violence. In language civilizations talk; Explicate the colours of barbarity;  Normality and abnormalities; Honour and immodesty. Language draws the borders of nations; Its constitution and sovereignty; It governs and governed; Records and recorded; Confesses and confessed; Condemns and condemned.  What else is man?  If not thought and feelings. What else is thought? If not the nomos? What else is nomos? If not the script. Whose signs enunciate; The codes of lives; Its physics and metaphysics; Its facts and norms; Truly, Language speaks the Man.

Colours of rainbow; Twinkling of stars; None is the place; If not coloured in imagination. O Human all too humans. Little rays in pervading shadow; Blooming flowers in silent meadow; Dance of desire and void of echo; Try not, let it be, as it is; O Human all too humans. All too struggles; In a piece of paper; For a piece of paper; Shades of identity; Engraved at parochial image-maker; Limitless claims, labours in vain; From alien time traveller; Boast not O talkative creature  ; O Human all too humans.
