SOMBER

 

SOMBER

 

Pensive excruciating events,

Visit unconditional resents,

Human life oscillates socks,

Damp but exhilarate, luck, (1)

 

Changes life, synchronized,

Somber moods mesmerized,

Cemetery, silent, essays life,

Quiet calms soul less strife, (2)

 

Under earth extinguished,

Upon earth, distinguished,

O human dominate the world,

Praise, applause, acts mold, (3)

 

Deeds discover despite the thrill,

Service selfless flames heal,

Cottage thatched roof floor,

Straw mattress lacks a door, (4)

 

Human lives are here peaceful,

Mud, bamboo walls, beautiful,

Backyard vegetable garden,

Small field, rice, cart laden, (5)

 

Yearlong food suffice, happy,

Rainy season water, creepy,

Born in the village die here,

Generations prefer, endure, (6)

 

Stood once still notice exist,

Different world somber list,

Dust free fresh air greenery,

Lush green paddy fields vary, (7)

 

Lotus blooms here, the pond,

Villagers, ordinary folk, bond,

None of the glamour dress,

Lack to display assets less, (viii)

 

Animal lives, birds, trees, stay,

Pervasive heart ecstatic lay,

Somber the look of the village,

Compared with city amaze, (9)

 

Somber look, not distressed,

Ambient, rural life, impressed,

stay lot peace, happiness, joy,

Different kind, plausible, envoy, (10)

 

Left the village, the somber mood,

Timeless for human withstood,

Spine of the nation, strong will,

Modest, moderate, somber still. (11)
