Smile Please! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Everything will remain,
As long as we are alive,
The sun may set for a new day,
The moon may rise for a new night,
The flowers may wither for the fresh fruits,
The path may be walked to curb the weeds,
The weeping rain may see the rainbow ribbons,
Flowing down as the water to support the livings,
Everything will remain, as it is and where it is,
Even after we would have gone and framed,
Even the memories have the cloaks of accounts,
Everything has remained here, except the,
Metaphorical doves, burdened with piggy bags,
Trying to fly high in the airless space,
Witnessing the heavy clouds, hiding the earth,
Banging at one another, with lightening fireworks,
The stars may clap and the sun may smile,
The moon may hide, man, you will remain.
To rule the earth and then the universe,
We have just begun to learn the truth,
Of how to live hundred years,
With no old age and disease,
But with smiles..
