[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki –
Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]
In Vain
(Dedicated to a united world, co-existing peacefully in diversity – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
In vain -
A seed which couldn’t germinate!
A bud that didn’t bloom into flower!
A fish couldn’t swim freely into water!
A bird in a cage at the mercy of the owner!
An animal in the laboratory away from nature!
An unfortunate prey waiting to be slaughtered!
A pet lived alone among people neutered!
A body deprived of romance leading to heir!
A foetus aborted for convenience of irresponsible lovers!
Eyes without vision to see everything everywhere!
Ears which couldn’t listen to sounds traveling in the
air!
A tongue without luck to quench thirst and relieve
hunger!
Hands which couldn’t work and grow a plant with care!
A mouth which couldn’t express joy of freedom in love!
A mind that never wondered about grandeur of universe!
A nose could never enchant brain with fragrance of flower!
In vain -
A heart which never fell in love with compassion!
A soul untouched by others’ sufferings and celebrations!
A leader who couldn’t speak truth under oath for illusion!
A voice that never rose against war and oppression!
A life eliminated by abusive violence of violation!
A human which couldn’t realize universal notes of Salvation!
