In the Age of Sophistication

The poem – “In the Age of Sophistication”

 

O, free me up, free me up –

I can no more stay fettered;

With the cute avian club,

I want the chains to get battered.

 

Poetry, my only means of communication,

Gifts me love and liberty;

Society’s full of every instigation;

Satan tries to confine me.

 

The most pathetic music

Does sound the most melodious;

This life, though tragic,

Gifts me my pain, familiar and joyous.

 

Love comes more naturally than Hate

To each one of us, humankind;

Why then do we sophisticate

Our life that turns us blind?

 

Don’t you smile in joy?

Don’t you weep in pain?

Why then hide, my boy?

Why do people call us insane?

 

To bring the true feeling and

Act accordingly is sheer honesty;

Why do we then reprimand?

Why do we lose our modesty?

 

We belittle people;

But why? Why? Why?

Does that rumour ripple

Our hearts with joy,

Or do we have to sigh?

 

Can sadism bring us true

Joy at all, at all, for sure?

 Why then they and you

And I don’t care to endure?

 

We have forgotten to smile;

We have forgotten to cry in peace;

Every moment we’re full of guile;

We fail to attain the truest bliss.

 

Let’s be honest with all;

Let’s love people with no purpose;

Let’s answer Nature’s call;

Boon shall shower on us.

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
