All Foliate like a
Cosmopolite

By Earakan

Palmyrah puree
tender sky
Ebony birdies
render accord
Bells tolling
love of Kumaran
Banners flying
dove of peace

Today's effulgence
to last?
one wonder
Past aura of beneficence
slender
Rotten roofs
man-made thunder
land
Resemble
lost city found under
sea

Soldiers gaze
on daily span
Longing out of
lonely terrain
Mongers design and plot
misery
Warriors align and apt
for combat

Soil binds
palmyrah fencing
Barracks block
farmers' plowing
Channel dig
fumble marine life
Ringing shores
forgive human strife

Bustling metro
soil of souls'
Rolling mass
on two wheel skates
Young, old, men and women
mesh
Motion to beat the clock's
rush

Learning sprout's pride
in parade
Lass and mother
reap newer grade
Lad and dad
path novel trade
Luminous tide
blend
and never fade

Fetch
serene future
the treasured past
Match
human spirit
to oceans' vast
Passion a mission
rallying cosmopolite!
"All lands home, all men kin"
all foliate
..like a cosmopolite!
