GOD 2 : SONNET 151

                        GOD 2
                              Sonnet 155

Do visit temples, other places of God
And watch, there in the crowd are also sinners
Who thrive amidst their sins with flair -- no odd
To sound to you, as there among your neighbors
Do you discover them -- while sinless many
Do suffer from diseases, droughts, malnutrition, 
And perish in accidents, wars..., though holy
They live and pray in uttermost devotion
To God. Then God ain't good or He's not present.
Yet the shrines are always full of the sinless.
Who knows whyever they're for Nothing bent,
Whate'er they get to heal undying distress !
Is God the race's greatest hit on idea,
Which aids all -- from a pauper to a mafia?

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
