A Poem For Kafka

My elder brother Lalith.P Who taught me to read and write And lot of things about fading life. He's a humble Encyclopedia. We drink together as friends When our holey pocket bit sounds And we had a common sickness Allergy for money but not alcohol Villagers amazed of our Brotherhood! He who introduced me Kafka. 'You should read his The Trial, The Castle Amerika, The Metamorphosis and the penal Colony. Most of his unfinished novels published Posthumously. And He's a German speaking-Jew.' My brother was really mad of Kafka. I read few lines of Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story recently 'A friend of Kafka.' And I write this brief poem underneath for him; 'I am sorry Kafka and still I couldn't touch One of your golden books But my inner feeling speaks You're great among others.' As I always respect of my Corsican brother's word!
