CORONA LIMERICK - 5

As a child have I seen how the hunters
Did bombard all the wolves, with our villagers --
One to nourish the stomach,
One to protect the livestock --
And did kill all, with canine infants and their  mothers.

E'er since, I have been witnessing deeds
Of our cruelty on all the animal breeds;
Be it the butcher's block,
Be it the deity's dock,
Our remorseless instincts do rejoice at the carnal feeds.

And today, an expecting elephant's murder all shows
How barbarical we are beneath our ornate glows
Of the progressive feats;
With our violent grits
Do create unimagined distress with the bombs and their blows!

As is Corona fear fast dissolving,
The restricted Demon is up-rising 
To revenge self on those
Who have dried his jaws;
For what he did lose will restore, all in killing.

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. ©️ N P Samal
