I swear (An Ode to Time)

Like all my poems this poem is also deeply concerned with my life. I tried to give philosophical touch a bit.

Again I swear,
I swear in the name of thee;
Let me swear keeping this cross on my heart,
That my tongue won't say a single word,
That my eyes were blind on that moment,
They didn't see things that oughtn't have been seen,
That my hearing got only a big-bang blow,
Nothing else.
That my world was dead for those very minutes,
I was only a stranger in my tiny world.

Here, I swear,
You didn't do anything wrong,
What people say, they say the wrongs.
I swear,
Yeah, You are not the murderer
The killed ones are the only killers.

I swear,
You were not present there,
On that day.
Only your presence was felt.
You are no culprit,
Rather the culprit is in me.
I swear once more,
The hopes that I create
Loose their meaning
With the course of the world.
So, their death is well justified,
And you, oh Time,
You are the lord, the One,
I swear in the name of thee!
