NO MORE HOLD

~NO MORE HOLD~

 When the centre does not matter

The hearts of people fail

And everyone begins to mutter.

When the eye can no more be specific

The world is seen in darkness

And everything is no more realistic

Every dream grows vague.

When the heart begins to fail and

Nothing is done

Or even nothing could be done

The lives of people are caught in jeopardy.

The centre can no more hold

Yet nothing can be done.

When the clothe can no more

Cover the chest

When the loosed knot cannot be untied

When the centre can no more hold

Can the centre boast it has a centre?

When the hand can no more feel the nipples of a coin

And men can no more sniff the necks of cheap things

When the lazy earth can no more retain water

And the tree cannot sway, can the centre

Say I have a centre?
