STRAW

 

STRAW

Life sinks into the whirlpool quickly,
Save life soon, spontaneously, well,
Humans, a precious life, dare dwell.
Capture a floating straw and intuit (1)

Imaginary hallucination activates,
Life struggles, troubled intentions,
Impending danger, deadly caution,
Invisible helping hand saves graces, (2)

Lesson for life: who helps get help
Drowning in swirling water shapes,
An unknown hand pulls up and saves a life,
Countless examples of escapes, a strife (3)

Condemned to the street gets sympathy,
Unknown yet kind-hearted empathy,
Straw in the flooding water capture,
Life sinking stays afloat yet enamored, (4)

Straw repudiates debt, the darkness,
Reality exists in the world and impresses.
Solve all problems, debt-ridden heal,
Lessons to humans, happiness seal, (5)

Humans discover the straw miracle,
Failed mission gets success at an angle,
A few are fortunate to get timely support,
A straw in the swirling water does escort. (6)

Stood in the park, twilight approached,
Octogenarian, a sick person search,
Desperate to return home, I want help,
Hold his hand, guide a friendly shape, (7)

Leading a lonely life with no one to care,
Visiting him quite often owes a share,
Watch his sickness necessity in love,
Human-to-human heart helps solve (viii)
