Once in a deep, unforgiving forest Lived an arrogant lady deer; Lions and tigers ogled at her: Foxes and wolves wandered near. She was proud of her looks and her body That captured the wonders of them all; She flaunted herself to all with ease: The size of her conscience was too small! With her head held high in boast and joy She hopped around and came to greet Everyone that liked her and kept gazing Not at her, but at her meat! Run amok, you stupid deer, You landed in a filthy mess; No one ever liked your soul, They liked your lusty flesh! You were so proud of your own looks That you didn’t try to know Your meat is not an asset to you: It is your biggest foe!
Sinking into the deep, blue sea I search for pearls that I know will be Abound in the lap of the boundless deep; Unaware of my presence, fully asleep.
Even though my life was full of pleasure, The depth of the sea- I could not measure Enticed my heart to leave my ship; And jump into the world of the fathomless deep.
The deeper I sink and seek for more pearls, The deeper it gets, the more it unfurls; Though my quest is completed-the pearls are found, The desire of my heart doesn’t know any bound; The secrets of the sea I want to unfold
At the bottom of the staircase I first stood Beholding it with an eager face; Some known men I saw on those steps Involved in a strangely unknown race.
Allured by the stairs they fought each other To reach the topmost, elusive step; Its gold-like glitter bewitched me too- That call! I just could not escape.
Foregoing all else I began to climb, Those men I then began to fight To own the exalted, topmost spot By winning the war of brutal might.
I knew I had to defy the odds -This led me to my dreadful sin: I killed the rest- one by one, So they could lose and I could win.
I reached the top of the stairs at last, Overcoming my honest, fruitless past I won that spot of glittering fame I was about to write in it my name; Just then! A moment of wordless pain: I knew then I was also slain.
At the end of my life’s selfish days After my greedy wild goose chase I found my corpse at the bottom stair Along with the others, in despair.
My restless soul in full distress Can now realise and confess My immoral sin, my fatal crime To climb upwards and reach the top I climbed downwards all the time.
From the womb of nature- the deep, dark cloud, She arrives with a dazzling glare of her own And her omnipotence is shown As the princess of prowess roars loud.
With her divine glance- the flash of light She kindles the lonely soul of the sky; A message is blazing in each eye- The hint of tomorrow’s stormy sight?
Announcing the truth’s unbeatable might, She enlivens my static, lifeless soul; Making me realise my sacred goal- To plant the seed of dawn tonight.
Enable my voice to be loud and clear To perform my holy, truthful task: Unveil the sinners’ disgraceful mask; Awaken the nation’s frigid career.
I searched you all over the places, But, I was unable to see -You were beside me, all the time -This wasn’t meant to be.
Please forgive me, oh! My Beloved! I know you are so kind; My sight was not set on you, My Inward eye was blind.
Open my eyes, oh! Source of Emotion, So, I can offer you total devotion; Fully with the gift of self- expression To let your voice be heard By people all over the world
The river of blood flows every day And meets the time’s infinite sea; The power of hate grows every day To plant the nations’ malice-tree. The corpses of truth lie everywhere, The butchers reign supreme; The message of peace is in despair And the thirst for blood extreme. The voice of the innocents no more cry For they all sleep in graves; The troops are sent only to die- They all are merely slaves. The boast of the cannibals can not last, The rule of the beasts will fall If the eternal message of love and trust Can ever unite us all.
