"Wake up" - my son!

"Wake up" - my son! 


I've lived in darkness - covered
by white lies. 
My heart precipitates on seeing the poor little
Goats - Aren't they? 

Two cents' worth - from my mind,
I break a piece off.
My son - Aren't you? 

Life's like a ring-a-ring o' roses,
Where the bastards drew the circle.
Where we 'must' join our hands,
And go - round and round.
We all fall down? 

"All blind goats!" - They all fell,
But why you? - My son. 
"Fall!", but fall like no one else had fallen.
Because fall isn't bad at all. 

"Remember!" - Fall isn't bad,
But fall somewhere else,
And rise! 
With your own bag of bones.

(*claps)
Wake up - my son, "wake up!"
The time has come.

-Anish Baskar
