45. A PEEP INTO THE LIFE OF A EUNUCH

Panic grips my heart,

As germs of fear enter my blood,

Biting every ounce of enthusiasm,

Every bit of mental strength,

Baffled by the onslaught of those faces,

As I look in sheer disbelief,

At the army of mutilated faces,

In this strange world created by God,

Plunging my whole being into emptiness,

Without a trace of hope; and lord being my saviour.

O! Lord; so beautiful is this world you have made,

Turbulent rivers; high mountains,

Clear blue skies; yellow seas,

Dazzling sights; treacherous heights,

But what form of beauty is this O! Lord,

Unfolding a trauma of ugliness,

The most deplorably dreaded form of a human being,

Circulating spasms of fear in my mind,

Leaving me in second thoughts,

As to what really is mankind.
