CONVICTION

 

CONVICTION

 

 

Myriad happenings sock imprint,

Society a teacher sympathy hint,

I know a young girl forfeited love,

Served old father crippled above, (1)

 

God for her existence, father died,

Family life, children, rejects defied,

Scantly seen her unhappy single,

The boldness decision live, mingle, (2)

 

Is she alone, human spirit miracle,

Read, bold-humans watch triangle,

Left family, children serve people,

Selfless duty saves lives crumble, (3)

 

No food, clothes, money, bargain fit,

Write on such noble lives, defeat,

Defeats the allure of attachment,

Sleep peacefully, feel contentment, (4)

 

Dare life in flood swim, save others,

Children females from flood water,

Not duty sparing life men daring,

Inferno, burning houses, so caring, (5)

 

Seen their charred skins blacken,

Saved life bold savior life shaken,

Speaking the truth, a person in prison,

Inhuman brutality face no reason, (6)

 

Still reluctant to cower surrender,

Ultimate death sadly disappears,

The search for truth objective decides,

Leave home anonymous presides, (7)

 

Walk alone on forest river banks,

Live in a mountain cave in ranks,

How come humans win the mind,

Outward tendency mind unkind, (viii)

 

Revolt, rebellious, torture believes,

Conviction, stubborn life survives,

No food, water, clothes, shelter need,

Rejects sweet foods as tasty indeed, (9)

 

Rejects money, a mattress, a roof,

Conviction human shows proof,

Education and skill do not teach all,

Eyesight genius sing progeny call, (10)

 

Human, the ultimate conqueror, stays,

Prime virtue conviction lives sway,

Mind traps O human life capitulate,

Conviction evaporates lust insulate. (11)
