Beyond borders

Beyond borders

25 May 2014

 

No nation in heart do I bear

No flame in speech do I share

For a limited portion of land

Is but million speckles of sand

.

Notionless, nationless I stand

On my heart heavy the hand

Swearing oath is not my kind

Allegiance is but to the mind

.

Motionless, nationless yet blind

To coloured drapes you unwind

Red throats hoarse would sing

Anthems all emotions stirring

.

Passionless, nationless I wring

Hands tied by this unseen thing

That binds me not to any place

For each kingdom is but a face

.

Cautionless, nationless I pace

Countries leaving not a trace

For a line one would not heed

Wonders laying beyond greed

.

Lines are of war the very seed

Gift, love turned to want, need

Flaming speech my soul I spare

For no nation in mind do I care
