CALAMITY

 

CALAMITY

 

 

Dared to dream impossible cheer,

Achieved mileposts defeated fear,

Not the story of mine manifested,

Human life chessboard invested, (1)

 

Today, grass field, tomorrow sock,

Skyscrapers in line traffic amok,

Spirit dreams are realized perfectly,

Forget humans story time directly, (2)

 

Change ownership, new face vigor,

Prosperity links luck, fortune, eagerness,

Looked at the towering height, sad,

Fell my hat upon ground stay mad, (3)

 

The man who owned everything fit,

Leading life in poverty causes defeat,

Not for one person, multiple cases,

Ultimate terror calamity life eases, (4)

 

The downfall links several directions,

Principle, honesty, true-emotion,

A changed person, wild and blind,

Every action terminates unkind, (5)

 

Happiness to loot plunder induces,

Number of deeds blunder produce,

Success is short, very short, frequent,

Deception betrayal kills consequent, (6)

 

Calamity sufferers elaborate hidden,

Human life suffers from greed-ridden,

Justice noble practice links security,

Cruelty discrimination link calamity, (7)

 

Sprang up daily news world over,

War destruction sufferings cover, 

News under calamity pseudo-state,

Worse, wait for debacles false debate, (viii)

 

Destroyed natural soil plundered,

Calamity climate duet wondered,

Finish this two-legged creature,

Insulting pristine beauty creator, (9)

 

Famine sickness unknown exists,

Calamity under the carpet resist,

Child of God Human unique stay,

Love, compassion, sympathy, sway, (10)

 

Protect sufferers help build soil,

Fertile land saves water, hard toil,

Bonhomie fraternity exhibits amity,

Forget the word cursed land calamity. (11)
