ACCENTUATE

 ACCENTUATE

 

Abysmal Human life, esoteric taste,

Gun trotting animal spirit lit crest,

Bona fide vigilantism practice cost,

New millennium illiteracy lives lost, (1)

 

Breath, faith, exhale faithfully, word,

Burning eyes exists a beast forward,

Garlands plenty to power prowess,

Uncivilized habit cruel suppresses, (2)

 

The Idol Lord's image pours milk, blood,

Provide prosperity gold life absurd,

Cattle blood smear ground soaked,

Practice eons continue yet mocked, (3)

 

Kindness, love, touchingly repulsed,

Wealth long life faith wall crushed,

Occasion, wise attenuate, light wish,

Recollect dead bodies revival miss, (4)

 

Life fought battle in vain, fruitless,

Resurrection divine lives, depress,

Choose a secluded place, candle-lit,

Meditate, inner soul, speak, explicit, (5)

 

Lighten the inner chamber human sit,

Precious human life, cattle defeat,

Not killing breeding nature graces,

Idol, like surrender, life serves faces, (6)

 

The living idol of clay mortal walk wit,

Rock idol symbolizes immortal light,

Inflame never blood flesh but wail,

Intelligent animal intuit let derail, (7)

 

Derail evil practices, faiths untrue,

Human guards nature earth crew,

Abolish killing terror to bonhomie,

Secure human life, educate, army, (viii)

 

Eradicate wall class creed hatred,

Humanity diving glow lo betrayed,

Sit alone in silence, watch within,

Firecrackers bursting life serene, (9)

 

Soul noticed as the oil lamp lighted,

In the heart aura, Diwali sighted,

Bright light, mind sky moonless,

Golden hallow, focus speechless, (10)

 

Idol dissipates slowly, whispering,

Human life is precious, yet listening,

Self-taught wisdom, love, and love,

Love is the light candle lit, resolve, (11)

 

Lifespan short serve dedicates life,

Remove darkness moonless knife,

Flower creator gifted garland hail,

Offer garland flower Hindu detail, (12)

 

Love Diwali celebrates lights, lamps,

Cruelty, hatred, evil practice damps,

An enlightened soul recreates beauty,

Bonhomie brotherhood live amity, (13)

 

Diwali occasion inner light glows,

Rejuvenate life, accentuate vows,

I live a dedicated life, surrender savvy,

Accentuate lighted darkness envy. (14)
