Corona Politics

Image
The Keywords to the Poem "Corona Politics" Poem, Corona, politics, full, glory, bitter, political, scenario, doctor, try, save, minister, keep, call, shame, time, fame The poem at a glance Corona or COVID 19 is in full swing at present. However, we must stand side by side, we must fight together to defeat the monster named "Corona". Unfortunately, the political scenario is pretty bitter. That is to say, we all should fight shoulder to shoulder against Corona. The pandemic is spreading its perilous paws here and there every now and then. Therefore, we should no more fight against one another politically. We should, therefore, all be unified. This unification alone can help us fight against Corona and win the battle. The poem - "Corona Politics" When Corona is in full glory, Oh, Bitter is our political scenario. The doctors try to save us all; The ministers keep giving their call. What ...

Cosmic Order (Haiku)

Image
The thought behind the poem “Cosmic Order” Broadly speaking, this world is nothing but an automation of cosmic order. We sometimes consider ourselves to be separate from the same. However, we are very much within it. Actually, we all are nothing but part and parcel of this cosmic order. There is order everywhere. Be it in a religious Scripture, be it in a scientific theory, be it in the social structure, we have to be abiding by the norms always and forever. Unfortunately, we are the breakers of law to the utmost. That is to say, the cosmic order rules the universe. Hence, everything is fastened in a universal order, like the sea calling the wind, the wind ruffling to make the sea become swelled and so on and so forth. Human beings are very much in Nature. The notion is not that we are separate from Nature; it is rather that we are very much within it. Every human being, every living creature, every natural phenomenon is nothing but an a...

Response (Haiku)

Image
Substance of the poem God's divine love accords us all a ready welcome always. If we open the door of our minds, if we really desire to respond to His heavenly call, we need to extend ourselves with open arms. He is there to give us love, but do we indeed wish to receive it? The story behind the haiku “Response” It was a sunny day. I was looking out the window at the dazzling golden sky. After my siesta, I gazed at the twilight sky momentarily and found the waning sun a bit morose. I asked him, “What’s wrong with you?” There was not anybody else in my room at that moment. He as if swooped down the building at a distance within view. I felt disheartened that the daylamp was feeling so sulky. I asked myself, “Am I all right?” I found an answer from within. That very answer was from God Himself, I trust. Yes, our fragile earthly body is the temple of our Living God. Let us all nurture our soul with tender live and infinite care f...

Universality

Image
The short prose piece -- "Universality" In order to be universal, we need to care for the entire universe, its each and every tidbit, its each and every particle, and we need to know that we are a part of it, we are very much in it. We have to be conscious of the fact. We have to nurture that we each is a world citizen. We should break down every "narrow domestic" wall to usher in a bright future, to welcome a luminous era of hope, love, respect, understanding, humanity and divinity in this way. Yes, it is we who can make it a heaven on earth. It is again we who can turn this earth to an inferno. Therefore, we have to select the side which we will be leaning to. With our own efforts, we can turn ourselves to be truly universal.

Persistence

It seems to be unjust, though I practise hard indeed. Life is not meant to be exactly as we think of it. Sometimes, it feels hard and tough to pull on. When we are in tears, people sometimes take advantage of it. However, life goes on in its own rhythm, that is, we must never stop, we should always try harder to better our past deeds in order to gain fortune. We must not give up at all. The poem - ...

The Advent of Corona (Haiku)

Image
The poem "Advent of Corona" in a nutshell The days on our beautiful earth were rolling smoothly enough. It felt as if the good days would never  cease .  People were living a happy and peaceful life. Life was moving on like a stone without any moss. Everything was fully at ease and comfort.  Then suddenly, one day, an alien invaded our earth, our sweet earth, our precious earth. That alien is none other than Corona that causes COVID-19 to all and sundry. The trespassers turned our happy days dark indeed. Unlike the actual Advent, the arrival of Corona darkens our lives. Therein lies the irony. Unlike the Advent of our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ, the destroyer, Corona, has made its advent harmful for all of us. Apart from that, the death toll is increasing day by day. It is the time when we should work hand in hand actively to fight against Corona, the strange stranger. The poem - "The Advent of Corona" - A Haiku It wa...

We feel jealous, we feel angry, and we commit crime. We as if feel blood-thirsty like the vampires. Sometimes, we feel ruthless to unleash human slaughter; we then do not even hesitate to kill our brothers and sisters as well. This is not what life is meant to be. When will such bloodshed end? When will the earth become a better place for living? This is a pattern poem, drawn in the shape of a drop of blood, for intensifying the effect. ...

A marine breeze kisses my heart as if I'm in a divine land. The dark heads of the trees are tossing at a distant within view. I feel at perfect peace with the world. Sometimes the cloudlets wrap the topaz moon up. A little while later, the lunar beams come out. I learn so many lessons. First, nothing lasts forever: neither weal nor woe. Second, the negative...

Substance of the poem At a distance within view, the lunar beams function as a spotlight on the Ganges. The dark night sky is up full of millions of stars. Do you hear the far desire of the incoming and the outgoing steamers. They sway like a pendulum on the breast of the Ganges that looks like a stage. Long ago, when civilization commenced, the curtain of the stage -- the world -- was raised. Again, it will fall down some day or t...

Christmas is the time of cherishing all human virtues among us. Yes, we must open the door of our souls to let Christ in. He is knocking at our door. Do you hear the knock? If we open the door, we will be able to feel His divinity always and forever. The poem -"It's Time" It’s time to put on Santa’s hats; It’s time to chime the bells; It’s time to sing the carols; It’s time to decorate the tree – The merry little Christmas tree – Under...

Life, A Hurdle

It is decorated with lots of hurdles. Just like a little newborn baby encircled with a colony of ants, just like an innocent bird trapped in a cage, just like a prisoner in the Bastille, we are also trapped in the web of falsehood. Life is not a pathway full of silk. It is not full of roses. It is rather full of thorns that make us bleed every now and then. We need to overcome all the hurdles to obtain life's true essence. Yes, this life is nothing but a hurdle. The poem - "Life, A Hurdle" Like a newborn babe Girdled by A colony of ants, Like a bird in A wooden cag...

Was It True?

It takes plenty of time to be built up brick by brick, but it takes only one second to shatter it into bits and pieces. However, the breach does not cause any noise, but it pains a lot. Pride, envy, narrow selfish interest, grudge etc. turns us so insane that we sometimes cause breach to relationships. Indeed, human relationships are more precious than gold. We should retain them. The poem - "Was It True?" My heart gnaws me down, Shattering my all to the ground. Human nature is treac...

Metamorphosis

Image
The poem in a nutshell We metamorphose. Yes, we do. Be it in case of this life, or be it on case of Afterlife, we are subject to change or metamorphosis. Again, we can get metamorphosed in nature and character as well. Such metamorphosis turns us either good or evil. However, we must always try to get changed to the optimistic side of human lives. The poem - "Metamorphosis" The shower of sapless leaves, Dancing in the midst of them, My deep despair do they cleave; I’m never more the same. Lo! This blade of grass Edifies so many things; Yonder the golden mass Lessons my heart that sings. We change every day; We are born again and again; We never decease any day; Everything’s in a chain. That I’ll never die Produces in me bounty and joy; When one’s soul’s uplifted high, One sheds off being coy. The keywords to the entire poem Poem, metamorphosis, shower of sapless leav...

The road is full of blocks, rocks, snakes, bumpers, holes, barking dogs, howling foxes etc. Still, we need to enjoy the journey and make the most out of it. What we need to do is to stay positive and confident to achieve our goal. Yes, we must gain success in such a manner. We sometimes need to stay stoical but should never give up at any obstacle in life.
