ACCORD
Divert the mundane realm, the
soul,
Unrealistic aspiration chased a
goal,
Mother's death at birth
imprinted,
Father at early childhood
departed, (1)
Fate assured helpless age
provided,
Elder brother, elder to age a
decade,
He was his father, mother, or
teacher,
Life passed tranquil years
immature, (2)
Instilled character, courage,
decision,
Guided his lonely life, taught
a lesson,
Back at home from work in the
evening,
Class notes, study book, his
teaching, (3)
Workout problems explaining detail,
Performed high school record to
hail,
Watched it, less smiled, hugged
tightly,
Surprised found tear inkling
slightly, (4)
Caught emotions, missed their
parents,
An incredible success time
warrants,
Culprit time stolen years
memories,
Claimed gold medal voyages
stories, (5)
Settled abroad, he had a family
nicely,
Affluent life learned renown
precisely,
Sits often silently looks at
his brother,
His photo frame picture is
quite an allure, (6)
Knew his father and mother,
teacher,
Life unrealistic impossibility,
assure,
Assured, to reality, shelter
felt divine,
Rolling tears in love, debtless
refine, (7)
Unique brother's gift of
courage owe,
Induced character pearl God,
bestow,
Never seen God less questioned
Him,
Why did he steal his parents,
dream, (viii)
Took suddenly, one by one,
surprised,
Manifested as his brother, life
prized,
Love his elder brother more
than soul,
Experienced his compassion to
goal, (9)
He dreams for his tiny brother
well,
Proved his sincerity, effort,
time swell,
A thousand miles away, decades
pass,
His settled life children,
revive class, (10)
Have a loving parent, care
infinite,
Compared to his brother, a rare
insight,
Gratitude, fathomless and
misnomer,
Blood links seemed eon soul
enamor, (11)
A professor at a reputed
university,
While coming back home in
alacrity,
Got a long letter the native
village sent,
His bedridden brother, kids
absent, (12)
Without money, medicine,
treatment,
Happened like a daydream
nascent,
Villagers helped to the extent
possible,
Still, his health deteriorates
unable, (13)
The simple letter requested
help sooner,
Choked his strength sat for an
hour,
What happened, his brother
failed,
Failed to intimate him a son
wailed, (14)
Packed his belongings, resigned
now,
Back to his native village prayer
vow,
Serve Godly to save life
determined,
The accord automatic blood
defined. (15)
