And The Grain Is Never Ground




The grain is never ground, the grain is never ground


I start to mill, to grind the grain


Oh! It’s already noon, let me start it tomorrow afresh


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




Making up my mind I start to mill, my neighbor yells to me


Ahoy! It’s the festive day, come let’s enjoy


Musings, gossips and party, and no work for the day


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




Determined to grind the grain, I start to mill


But I lose to the global home, travelling in its length all around


Meeting my old friends, and having useless talks


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




I start to mill unflinching, the mistress shows up and smiles


Her words reaching me without a stay, with gentle caresses within the words


I return to mill, but realize that day star took my license with him


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




Forging a stubborn spirit, I start to mill


But heavenly seas carry me to the foreign lands


Making all my fantasies come true, while I reel on my couch


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




Single minded I start to mill, to grind my grain


But my black box blocks my feet, and buzzes in my ear


And shows me the worlds in it, and I realize it’s difficult to come out


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




Hell-bent on grinding my grain, I start to mill


And then twig it’s a weekend, and revert


For I believe, weekends are meant for zest


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has strengthened




The lonely chill seeps from within, for the fear of the grain never being ground


I see myself in a barren city, alone and unattended


For I ran out of the grain and see no reason to survive and thrive




The weekday begins and the cycle continues


I come the next day, and notice that the stack has even more strengthened


The grain is never ground, the grain is never ground
