Jaccuzi People

I feel a boulder on my nerves; 
Brush of sticky imagination
Binds me to a pole of abstraction
As I watch these people
Glow like lawns in palatial GRAs
Who seek for pleasure but refuse labour.
The artist with an easel in hand is the guide to a world afar
Brought close in the memory that recognises.
Between dawn and streaks of powdered sunlight
Between the dividing waters on a stony path of rural murmurings
Stands the jacuzzi soul that wakes in lavishment.
The morning offers ambition into waiting hands of lazy jacuzzi people.
The sun shines on the skin of the hardworking peasant
Whose memory basks joyfully at nature's simplicity.

The jacuzzi souls have a mind uniquely uniquely theirs
Perpetually troubled in season of desolation --
Out of touch with a new horizon that promises
Vistas of freedom. Give them an ethereal delight,
Offer them a piece of bread, a flagon of wine
And they can merry till the break of day.

Jacuzzi people. . . hardly have I uttered those words
Than when they stare at me with questions
Dropping out of their wide quizzical eyes.
They are like vapour issued from a jacuzzi
They: the jacuzzi people. They see and they
Do not see, thirst and yet detest the call for liberty.

These are the measures of an unused mind seen under the sun:
A jacuzzi treat for pleasure-seekers who lean on wealthy fathers
Gives rise to lost and lazy sons.
Extravagant spending is only a reflection of the mind
Distanced from the truths
Of life.
