| Heavens and earth in handshake Horizon afar from seen And the greens hold their tranquillity With occasional wave and whisper Death hook submerges from a long string Hangs upon a long stick The old man sits helplessly |
||||||
| With many nights of untiring endeavours But the catch sense death And move away from the hook death zone Sea howls with promises Putting the lives of its residents in danger |
||||||
| Like the slavemaster to the slaves Colonial masters to their colonies A war of deceits is fought on both sides Then a cold war Tears stream down the contoured face Of an old skeletal man Results of a promise unfulfilled The old man and the sea. |
