Genuflected Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

Genuflected

Rating: 3.3


Moon lit evening— walking alone
River side road— proof of creation

Swiftly a rickshaw passed over me
Full moon eaten up some moments
— I ran and crossed the rickshaw

A motorcycle crossed me rapidly
I ran faster but failed and tired
— laughing rickshaw crossed me

We are in actual fact genuflected
To invented machine and engine

Sad truth but, our inventions do enslave us. The humour when you say the rickshaw laughed As it crossed you shows the satirist in you. Profound thoughts potrayed through simple verse! I geneflect before your thoughts! Angel

inventive doesn't seem to do it justice. you bring the language alive as if you made it up yourself. and as always you use your gift to bring us a glimpse of the spiritual essence in all things. Thank you, Ashraful, for not just reflecting but creating beauty itself.
