Prohibited

In this land of the arid desert,

With the parched sun blazing at me,

I crave for the soothing winds to caress me,

And the insatiable storm to engulf me,

I live in the hope, the desire to learn,

The Knowledge what is now forbidden for me.

Rules are laid and ought to abide by,

Dispelling me to a life of crudeness and ignorance,

But still,

I await in anticipation,

For the reassuring winds,

To blow away the layers of dust settled on those books, whose pages would “once upon a time” engulf me!
