Waywarding vainly to cloud nine obversely dumbfounded
Swooping to the abyss beak first in a faltered race.

Which form of justice shall we abide by in our land,
The western system or our own traditional justice;
Which of the two is better and on what ground.

Visceral flowing in my veins thumping up
my abject self transcending into a stream
Of meandering ecstasy shining like a lamp.

Vivid recollections vent up the upheaved faculty
One after another like panting charges on gallop,
Each painting a portrait of a postcard bounty
With reminiscences dearly putting time into a stop.

an exquisite sunset, 'O' paints pretty colors, before
a maiden's heart dances, piroettes beneath the straight,...

Some of our norms gnawing at our moral fibre.

A black leathery sheen coiling and panting heavy
Infinitesimal limbs blurring a sight down a hole,
Instinctively leaping clasping a stick in sardonic humour,
