Poem - 2

Soulmate proclaims I am close
His spectacles press the nose
And he tries to write the prose
But he only knows how to code
Hence fails in verse such gross

Stop seeking the soulmate's sight
Small spectacles a short eye-sight
Ever fail to fall in love-at-first-sight
Forever fruitful is the family's sight

Father works decades of life ahead
In process losing the hair of his head
Rearing the child from cradle to man
With peeled skin of his mother's hand
For needed prayer he raises his hand

Can not miss the Invisible Hand
That exchanges lives for oily land
This spectre of communism on land
Toppling the states for political gain
His convictions await the final call
Of Israel falling like the Berlin Wall
Dawn which brings freedom to all

Summary: He is so shy that he starts doing other things instead of looking at his beloved, even when she is close to him. His eyesight is weak and he is using the wrong glasses, so he cannot even see his beloved even if he wants to. He thinks about his parents and starts praying for them, but in the process he starts worrying about the problems of humanity due to capitalism and communism, hence prays for the betterment of humankind.
