REMEMBERING ADAM!

No cure seems to work. 
Between absurd and wise, 
Lone he walks. 

It is a note on the timidness 
of a star, which couldn't come near the earth. 
On the slope of a crater, a boulder 
stopped it. 
No laughter seems to amuse him, 
sullen and depressed, 
lone he walks. 

Genes take a giant leap, 
he could not break the fall. 
Brick by brick the fort crumbles, 
a black halo fills the canvas. 
Now carnations will not bloom, 
and time will die with the clocks. 
Lone he walks. 

Duplicity was the word or tragedy, 
Transparency got mutilated. 
some of the sufferings could not come to the surface. 
Both waves and boat collapsed, 
Lone he walks.
