ENIGMA

 

Incredible is the dip in the Ganges, a place,

Time is sacred, humanity seeks grace,

Deeds of the soul in all lives get cleansed,

Ash clad naked monks in group rinsed,

From morning, noon, dust to midnight,

The sacred river in the crowd baths delight,

A mysterious faith for century witness,

Cleansing souls transform life enriches,

Unknown in action, love, trust nourishes,

The goddess celebrated in joy and prayer,

Hundreds of animals sacrificed not rare,

The mystery is the killing of demon of lust,

People watch amazed demons bipedal roll,

The sacrifice unknown if mother tests,

Worshipers feast on meat as offer rest,

Specter of the corona the sweeping nation most,

Pedestals of mother lonely mirth is lost,

The sacredness of water, a time n places,

Offered blood of cattle, milk sweetness,

Enigma of tradition millennium practice,

Corona is time for enigma questions,

 

Young old well or sick visit as pilgrims,

Generations noted human deed cleanse,

Enigma of civilization puzzle on vices,

Cruelty lust greed discrimination rises,

Corrupt in guise sing Vedantic hymns,

Promises for the poor in serving selfless,

In power spirit sinks enigma surprises,

A kid of gutters, shabby dreams big,

Under street lamp a child study grew,

Saved a nation division ruled like few,

A poor child rules vast populous nation,

A literate clean, simple rules state decades,

An ordinary girl sings superb classic,  

Captured imagination of the nation as magic,

From rags to the richest man in nation,

A clerk to megastar raises commotion,

A ticket collector of train to sports star,

Enigma mesmerizes in legend near or far,

 

 

A nation dreams as in progress in track,

The poorest kid lingers in poverty stark,

Millions of sweet childhood melt in neglect,

Enigma lives in tear, illness, hunger abject,

The youth of the nation future kingmakers roar,

Moneyless jobless destitute number soars,

Highways of life, my ways in freedom tore,

Enigma lives in the minds of learned evils lore,

The picture of migrant labor never is forgotten,

Enigma looks statue of unity walls are rotten

 

 

Tradition culture faith lifestyle in time,

The destiny of spirit, men dream fine,

Corruption of mind, vices in the realm a stigma,

A pair of innocent eyes smile tears in an enigma,

Hope kids see next century life in sigma,

The life story of this generation sing enigma.
