The nations of antiquity rolled away in the current of ages, Israel alone remained one indestructible edifice of gray antiquity... preserved by an internal and marvelous power.

Bought Just For Fourteen Annas..
If antiquity can account even trivial things
Then I open my first trunk box
Put in my first school-slate
Ink-pen, music notebook, comb, mirror
Teen-age style of a goggles, a thakli-spindle
Little-torn my first pink nylex saree
My college photos, this and that all one by one
Until my memoir-plane is almost emptied..
But except one..
That holds wholesome fragrance
Of Mysore Sandal, Rexona, Hamam, Pears
Margo, Medimix, Chandrika, Lux, Lifebuoy
Johnson's, Dove e.t.c
Over a run of fortyfive years..
A soap box.. bought just for fourteen annas
Richly fragrant is its loyal antiquity
Like those branded ones

On a higher place
Some wait on pan
to brighten their night
with nymphs and styrs
and like in antiquity
believe that the book of the dead
have great powers of life
into the beyond
and wait on the devil or god to appear,
but mine eyes are set
on a higher place, of true light,
on the God that created all
of which the sun, moon and stars
are only implements and tokens
of His power and grace.

Israel
You've had your troubles Israel
I've seen them all
But you put the writing on the wall
Israel Israel yeah
You know I've seen you fall so many times
I've cried for you and that's a crime
Israel Israel Israel
Where there's sand
Where there's beautiful sand yeah
You know you got a kind of feeling
That's just grand
Take me into your arms
Let me be with you
Israel Israel Israel
I like the smiles up on your people's faces
They make you feel warm embraces
And I want that kind of smile
that kind of smile
Israel you make the whole world think about you
And if they don't they'll find a reason
to shout about Israel Israel
You're the only one Israel Israel
Tell me all about it!
Tell me all about it
Tell me all about it
Oh take me into your arms
And make me feel your goodness
Be with me Israel
Hey hey hey hey
Oh oh oh
Take me into your arms
Let me hold hold you to myself
Oh I want to Israel
Israel Oh take me back into into your arms
Israel Israel Israel Israel
Israel

Entry Of The Sea
Oh you who are situated at the entry of the sea,
Antiquity is my life and live is my muse;
But Malta comes to my heart when i do think of you,
And i am by the wayside waiting for you.

Thundering Voice of Tellus
In a lightless room listening
to the wooly rumble of rolling thunder
storm cloud snares crash
as lightning zaps the skyline
oh thundering voice of Tellus
furious echo of antiquity
fulgurite's genie
granted freedom
from fossilized eternity
oh liberating lioness of storm
awakening the soul
from the slavish slumbers
of ancient lore
summoning spiritus indestructible
with sonorous resilient roar
oh the summer rain speaks with
such soft voiced reverence for life
light touch motherly murmurs
placid pluvial joy
earthen-ferment of ancestral aromas
coming into contact with regenerative
perfumes of emerging new-birth
