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!
