Umbilical Homage
By: Abu Al Haq

There .. At the point where people switch a citizenship , but not a homage, never ! There .. Where all your memories are reduced to a few hot teardrops There .. Where all ahead of me was.. Just passengers & a trail of baggage I was approached by a dark shadow , A featureless face, a toneless voice, Was all that showed of him , He said: "Gonna quit and leave? I can tell " "I've been watching this scene for ages by now " , " Go ahead, but hand them over to me " "What is it ?", I said. " Your heart , and your pack of memory " , " This is what I demand anyone like your case " , " It's your breakthrough, to break free from this place " There, on the borders , Where you are not allowed to take all your luggage, If your heart accounts as if a further baggage Never allowed to depart

I nodded alright, and surrendered Isn't life, after all, all about surrender ? The bus moved quite alright But the trail of seeping blood kept flowing Marking an umbilical cord Unseen, not even sensed, Yet , never resting was the feeling The more the bus moved outwards The more elastic it turned, pulling me back and back Should we suffer this much, to be acknowledged of hell ? Should we be stabbed to death , to be able to tell? What a waste of a whole lifetime What a waste of a great God-Granted gift To end it up, in a few lines like here? Do we live in our father's homelands, Or is it them in stead, living inside us? Umbilical, life goes all umbilical Tears while being born, Tears while leaving and parting Amidst laughter and wailing, A whole story of creation unfolds Umbilical, all umbilical, always connected to earth.
