THE SUPREME CHALLENGE
(By Bijoylakshmi Das, 15th April 2020)
Oh Eternal Flame! I adore Thee: the Soul of my Being,
The beautiful blossoming Earth all around –
Man in the making!
The Maenad delight just on the surface of all Dionysian pleasure,
Look beyond the horizon; all burnt to ashes: the deadliest Demonic endeavour.
The blissful breeze murmurs lullaby to the sleeping fatigued Earth,
The latter was meant for Bliss, Peace and Love living worth.
The Sun sets for the Human monster to be devoured soon in jaws of Time,
Time waits for none, your time is up – enough bloodshed, enough of crime;
The sublime hour ahead, perfection’s postern appeal lingers behind the Darkness’ veil,
Oh Man! Try to be humane, you have done enough with your self-doomed hell.
Your Spirit’s forsaken sobs for the long-sought forgotten height,
All is lost, buried in Abyss your frustrate delight.
The Nature is in full bloom with no man-cannibal to interfere,
Your missiles and torpedoes will be lost in perdition, do always remember.
The earnest appeal of Earth is attended by Heaven, you are stone-deaf to hear,
For, your Death Knell is ringing loud; all evil designs to be torn asunder;
Life is evanescent, you are not here for Eternity – do remember,
Your mundane apparel though most dear and near –
To the Divine which rules from above and keeps track of   actions’ every record,
Be a part of the world Drama: the Apolcalyptic paradise which is just for a few days more!
Choose your cherished option “Truth or Abyss”- the inviolable Supreme Order,
Light the Flame within, be only the witness to be guided by the Commandment of your Soul.
