BARKING COW

BARKING COW

When the sun chairs the heavenly bodies

And illuminance immanently services

When the sea ministered waves within the lines of band

And a cluster of fluviatic creatures dance to its musing injunction

When the vegetations materialize the wideness of the soil

And lushness embraces the meadows of stony harvest

When the radiant shadows have a tender heart

And permissibility encourages jocund amenability

When the sceptre of shepherd understands the darkened trail

And the sheep unanimously journey on the landmark

Then the soiling flag flutters in silence wind

And greenishness overthrows the milky desert.

Let the barking cow remembers his old friend- Balaam's donkey

That protests the myopic view of customized dark horse

Let the barking cow remembers the flood

That breaks edges and pitches its tent to obduracy

Let the barking cow remembers the summer sunshine

That systematically deliquesces a rotten tomato

Let the barking cow remembers the Olympic fire

That is in congruence to the longevity of the game.

Let the barking cow continues to bark

Until the barking back out the backbenchers

Let the barking cow continues to bark

Until the madman traces his path to the fountain of sanity

Let the barking cow continues to bark

Until the barking becomes the recited national canticle

Let the barking cow continues to bark

Until pregnancy metamorphose to child and wizened to vitality.
