RECKON
Why I
am sitting on the bench,
Marshy
grass wet dews stench,
Misty,
the morning fresh heavy,
Knocking
New Year lives curvy, (1)
The
world saw devastation sadden,
Human
hope aspires love laden,
Pompous
gaiety gathering song,
Migrants
at asylum homes long, (2)
Praying
for The Lord's peace beacon,
Myriad
heart wishes life reckon,
I
prayed for the land to develop, secure,
Lord
saves all of us by linking nature, (3)
Icy
snow cap river forest desert,
Golden
Coastline Islands Resort,
The
bountiful crop we feed a world,
Andaman
Nicobar live emerald, (4)
variety
of cultural customs exist,
Religion
festivals destiny tryst,
Faced
invaders looted plunder,
Rampaged
burned let murder, (5)
Colonialists
came left skeleton,
Seed
bifurcated, got partitioned,
Hundred
billion plus people,
The
dream New Year possible, (6)
The
mightiest country aspires,
Build
one earth, race, future,
Spread
love and unity, share hope,
Not
dreams bomb nuke drop, (7)
Instantly
vaporize million evil,
Boasting
our self-culture, civil,
Lone
negotiation discussions,
Threat
turn treaty mansions, (viii)
May the
New Year new scope,
Human
race bright envelope,
Pray
the church is crowded,
The
midnight hour is shrouded, (9)
Mass
prayer chore moment,
The
bell is wringing incident,
The
crackers burst aloud,
People
visible in the street proud, (10)
Still
merged in my prayer lit,
Mercy,
O Lord, save humans fit,
Stockpiling
nuke bioweapon,
Blind
hatred, crucified upon, (11)
They
pray and sing but forget life,
Love
and serve if butter knife,
I
prayed, left the church ringing,
New
Year few minutes singing, (12)
Reckon
O' Merciful Graceful,
Earth
new century, how wonderful,
Let
there be peace achieved,
Lord
exists among perceived, (13)
We
reckon His saying follows,
Life
exists tomorrow or hollow,
The
transcendental peace night,
Reconcile
a grace in front sight. (14)
