AN EARNEST APPEAL
(Bijoylakshmi Das, 1st October,2020, 03.00 hours)
Light descends from celestial Heaven,
Our opacity obstructs;
Wisdom dawn upon Earth,
Our inhumanity hinders;
Love’s labour lost
To make human truly human
And worth living like an evolved being -
Always in harmony with Creation’s choicest destiny.
TRUTH is Omnipresent,
Man lives in Falsehood’s impotency:
Ever hallucinating!
Godhead dwells within
In each existence - living and non-living.
Certitude reigns supreme
Planet is on re-making
To a new awakening.
Man on Earth
Never meant to fall apart
With sheer disgust and agnosticism.
But to live a higher living.
Not as an animal
Nor as a Beast
In wine and flesh
Merry-making!
Music is played in air around
Symphony scintillating!
The brightening breath of the Godhead
Enlivening and enlightening!
The Poetry of Earth
Writ on Creation’s canvass
Vast and endless in Elixir’s mirth;
The nectar drops down on us
To make us pure and sacrosanct,
Our Ignorance the obstacle impendiment
Always ignoring and manipulating!
We play Music like fools
Living in Fool’s Paradise;
Our Ego says,” We are superstars”.
We are truly in the abysmal depth of Abyss,
Slaves to senses and unrestrained passions
Ever vacillating
In dooms of destruction and desires
Unbridled and slowly devouring.
In the Ocean of fiery passions always oscillating!
No aim, no destination
Our human identity utterly lost
In the Beast in the making!
Whatever has been given to you
Will be taken away, be sure
One day!
You will be left in imagination’s Kingdom
As a false and defeated King.
The Empire of Love: a formation of your vital mind
Where you feign to rule the Supreme!
Be in stupor
Oh Man-monster!
Or arise and awake
To reach the divine Goal you are destined for
You are human mortal no more;
In Immortality ascending
To reach the shore of Infinity’s Ocean
Ever compassionate, all pervading!
