Love Deffered

Phanibhushan

Listen my beloved, My darling love
don’t come now this ugly time
the bombs and guns now rule this land
nothing survives that seems sublime

This land, a land of golden days
is now owned by corrupt breed
the canine bipeds rule the place
vulgar vultures are on the lead

Wrong time, wrong place and wrongly placed
still-born is our hopes and dreams
the scoundrel time is better dressed
is it good time for lovers’ swim

The bastard breed has outgrown all
the sages are slaves in this hermit-land
the promising lives all at moments’ call
are kidnapped, killed by different brand

The impotent days are husbanding time
the sterile wombs can conceive what
My love, please stay while every crime
is honoured with ransoms by leaders stat.
