The poem - "On the Death of the Indian Football Legend"

O, Sir Chuni Goswami!
The candle blew out;
You went away forever,
Leaving us all in awe.
A legend, O, a legend!

May God bless your family;
May God bless us all;
In such a lockdown scenario,
The thread got torn.
You're no more.....O, no more.....

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
