A Lament

by Mukesh Williams



There is nothing to lament About the passing of The old world order The Vedic, the Mughal, The colonial world, Are all preserved In their bathing ghats, In their architecture, In their education, Names of places Streets and buildings, Still represent the old world. Names like Manikarnika, The Taj Mahal, or The Victoria Memorial Always stand for Death, love, lost glory, The enviable history of races The same old stories Repeated again and again Even in their apparent decay.
