Beyond Man Poem by Nikhil Parekh

Beyond morbid exteriors of vulture egg; lie immaculate pearls in the shell of oyster,

Beyond frigid feathers of peacock; lie steel wings of the fighter jet,

Beyond soiled persona of bathroom slippers; lies a compactly juxtaposed shoe,

Beyond scantily fortified blades of table fan; lies the colossal silhouette of wind mill,

Beyond threadbare moulds of lackluster tin; lies ostentatious biscuits of gold,

Beyond the surreal demeanor of black ant; lies the invincible dinosaur,

Beyond dilapidated realms of broken hut; lies the articulately synchronized palace,

Beyond despicable light of the sodium bulb; lies the dazzling brilliance of sun,

Beyond scarce trickle of crystal mountain stream; lies the magnanimous ocean,

Beyond mundane display of the century old type-pad; lies the hi-tech computer,

Beyond cloistered interiors of diminutive timepiece; lies the gargantuan clock tower,

Beyond revered portrayal in exquisite sculpture; lies the true stalwart,

Beyond extravagant dreams of suffering; lies the real pain,

Beyond variegated leaves of Christmas tree; lie sprawling meadows of untamed green,

Beyond the monotony of onerous work; lies impeccable truth imbibed in soul,

Beyond fledglings of tender fur; lies the menacing panther,

Beyond petite footsteps while treading on silk; lie violent kicks dismantling ground,

Beyond pilfering minute quantities of currency note; lies the cold blooded serial killer,

Beyond garrulous talk of shrewd businessman; lies the innocuous cry of a baby,

Beyond frugal droplets of languid rain; lies tumultuous avalanches of snow cascading down,

Beyond the jelly fish fluttering in a shallow tank; lies Grey whale inhaling
exorbitantly in the ocean,

Beyond a volley of disdainful abuse hurtling rampantly from mouth; lies sacrosanct preaching,

Beyond parables of venomous hatred; lies compassionate anecdotes of love,

Beyond frivolous dispositions towards alien; lies the life bestowing mother,
And beyond sheer intelligentsia; contemporary inventions of man; lies the omnipotent Creator.
