Moneyhood Poem by Nikhil Parekh

Above all FATHERHOOD; the unflinchingly charismatic spirit that it perennially portrayed to this colossally propitious and spell bindingly heavenly planet,

Above all WOMANHOOD; the sensuously tantalizing garden of ingratiating fantasy; that it disseminated to every impoverished organism alive,

Above all SISTERHOOD; the godly entrenchment of sacred sharing; that it perpetuated in even the most hedonistically tyrant of skull wandering on this
gigantic earth,

Above all SAINTHOOD; the perspicuously enlightening beams of hope that it unequivocally distributed; to every miserably derelict entity on this fathomless globe,

O! Yes above everything today; has risen the corpse of MONEYHOOD; O! Almighty Lord; victimizing countless innocent in its deathly swirl; wholesomely metamorphosing the pristinely untainted map of your Universe; into frigidly threadbare and decrepit currency paper.

1.

Above all BROTHERHOOD; the magically wonderful essence of symbiotic existence; that it timelessly and altruistically culminated into,

Above all NEIGHBOURHOOD; the harmoniously blissful feeling of unconquerable solidarity; uninhibitedly gushing out like unstoppable blessings from azure sky,

Above all ETERNALHOOD; the preachings of celestial contentment and mellifluous exuberance; being the mantra of every unfurling minute of vibrant life,

Above all BOYHOOD; the inexhaustibly rejuvenating odyssey of boisterous youth; towards more and more exhilaratingly enigmatic discovery,

O! Yes above everything today; has risen the mortuary of MONEYHOOD; O! Almighty Lord; lambasting boundless newborn with swords of bizarrely murderous
commercialism; wholesomely metamorphosing the pristinely untainted map of your Universe; into inconspicuously worthless and sadistically stinking currency paper.

2.

Above all LIKELIHOOD; the ethereally illuminating rays of hope that congenitally came alongwith the most tempestuously acrimonious of adversity,

Above all MOTHERHOOD; the unending cosmos of everlasting caring that brilliantly consecrated even the most diminutive iota of viciousness on this
boundless world,

Above all MANHOOD; the fearlessly patriotic streak of blazing triumph; that forever exorcized the planet of the seeds of parasitic cowardice,

Above all KINGHOOD; the regally epitomizing throne of success; that radiated like a handsomely unfettered prince; on every patch of inanely barren soil,

O! Yes above everything today; has risen the ghost of MONEYHOOD; O! Almighty Lord; indiscriminately assassinating the fabric of truth and humanity; wholesomely metamorphosing the pristinely untainted map of your Universe; into sordidly stagnant and criminally barbarous currency paper.

3.

Above all KNIGHTHOOD; that blisteringly towered into a fire of princely gallantry and crusade for the cause of benign righteousness,

Above all CHILDHOOD; that perpetually blossomed into an ocean of timeless innocence; like the angels of the creator having descended from the heart of paradise,

Above all LIVELIHOOD; that quintessentially engendered every single entity on this earth to honesty perspire; for melodiously harnessing the fruits of profligate nature,

Above all LOVELIHOOD; that panoramically enthralled even the most remorsefully alien; with the unfathomably unceasing vividness of the rhapsodically resplendent atmosphere,

O! Yes above everything today; has risen the curse of MONEYHOOD; O! Almighty Lord; unsparingly excoriating the fragrance of sensuously embellished existence; wholesomely metamorphosing the pristinely untainted map of your Universe; into uxoriously delirious and frantically penurious currency paper
