    Really good.. but pls help me understand this bro.. so;
    in the last verse 'malakuna' = 'manushyathwaya'? in other word this poem is written from the point of view of "manushyathwaya'?

    I asked this because you can also get the idea that you are requesting to accept this 'malakuna' from 'manusyathwaya', like you are talking to manushyathwaya that you are somebody else.

    thanks first of all for your comment :P

    yeah poem is kind of written in point of view of humanity..it is assuming that this world has lost its touch with humanity..its all pretty yet no room for humanity..so the poet is just asking the world to accept him, who is just a "malakunak" without that humanity..he just wants to fit in, hope that makes sense :yes:..and if you have other meanings you are welcome to it..

    Thanks... yeah thought so, otherwise it would be even harder to understand. I was also bit puzzled by the first verse where you say "Kisith Nohandunana Mage denayana", it gives me the meaning that "I don't recognise anything/anyone" as oppose to "no one recognises me". I think the second meaning is the more suitable one as people has lost the sense of humanity...

    yeahh i was going for that but i see it can work either way..either the world has lost it, or the guy in the poem :yes: thanks again for your nice comments
