The Teenager's Talk

-

















The poem in a nutshell

Corona's ruthlessness has been depicted in this poem that even a little teenager, who is about to flourish, cannot get rid of it.







The poem -- "The Teenager's Talk"


Will it kill us all, Mum?
You say, one gets the sum
Of one's deeds -- all of them;
Now it doesn't seem the same.
I've just stepped at thirteen;
Won't I too be spared by COVID-19?
I wish to meet more people;
I wish to soar on the ripple
Of my fantastic land,
Holding your and Dad's hand.
Corpses on corpses are getting piled;
I don't want to be exiled,
Mum, don't want to be exiled.
You say, I'll be a big man,
An honorable and pure man;
I need to grow up
With your club.
Won't this virus let me go?
Can't I fulfill my dreams and grow?
Please, don't you cry, Mum;
I'm ready to get my sum.

Prayer of A Fallen Individual

The poem in a nutshell The poem is nothing but an earnest prayer of a fallen person or a fallen human being to the Supreme Soul. The human being, corrupt through and through, prays to the Omnipotent for forgiveness and moral teachings. The person here states his fallen state in a plaintive voice. None but God can save him / her from such a fallen state. The Lord is aware of everything. He is omniscient and omnipresent. Hence, the prayer is to lift him / her up from such a state. The poem -- "Prayer of A Fallen Individual" I'm forsaken as Atlantis;  I'm fading away like The sun going down;  I'm deserted as An abandoned tragedy;  I'm lifeless just Like a grey shadow;  I've lost my identity In the midst of Names numberless. Lift me up on Your shoulders;  Hold me firm With Your hands;  Keep me fast With Your velocity;  Pacify my soul With Your eyes;  Fill me up W

They are getting extinct day by day. The poem - "Long Live!" Marsh and land, where they used to lie, Have both become man’s usurped wealth; Urbanization’s made them die, Just for man’s selfish, brutal stealth. Lo! The nature’s more colorful, If frogs and newts – all are around; Each thing will become wonderful, When caecilians – safe and sound. If there’s no biodiversity, One day, man’ll too become extinct; Mark that frogs also have beauty; Just think: the m
