RESPITE

 

RESPITE

 

An obnoxious, unprecedented event,

Luxurious, pleasant lives extent,

Peace and happiness vaporized,

Faced with life crucial yet survived, (1)

 

Found calmness, inner courage,

Vanish from the milling crowd craze,

Mirage expects decency, loving,

Fortunate human encounter sing, (2)

 

Crude, deceitful lives, guise friends,

Impossible to detect evil pretend,

Display world plains, crevasses, hills,

Human life faces acute upheaval, (3)

 

Life is not a bed of roses and thorns,

Wait and watch walk yet mourns,

Look at brook flowing faces rock,

Motionless bypasses paths sock, (4)

 

Messages to human life halt stay,

Ponder a minute plausible sway,

Experiences of life circumstances,

Intellect links respite to instances, (5)

 

Succumb to peril, keep low, wait,

Wind fails to uproot pass debate,

Face the strong wind, fallen trees,

Arrogant lives spine broken cease, (6)

 

Respite virtue rest grass survives,

Human to learn patience thrives,

Civilized society crime underlines,

Violence, fights, and hostility crimes, (7)

 

Difficult to detect motive respite,

Anger is a strong reaction to despite,

Despite amidst a dangerous world,

Respite recluse keep aloof reward, (viii)

 

Patience gains enough clues to escape,

Respite erase temper state shape,

Incidences of brutal war victory,

Respite advancing enemy territory, (9)

 

Halts moving army pause device,

Respite discover solution precisely.

Children youth across genders yell,

Halt, pause a little, think, act well, (10)

 

In life, during exams, many a time,

Fixed time writing critical lines,

Despite a few seconds of golden trick,

Respite acquainted  brick by brick, (11)
