We Are Alive! ! ! Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

It was out of blue;
A hoax or a truth
Bestirred him nail the clue
And landed him
In captivity of fear blues
Baffled many
By impending glooms
For a day or two
Afraid and suspicious
Loitered around the place
With the helmet on
Day and night through
Parading the place
Like a soldier true
Loosen the helmet if you dare
May end up being a martyr
A subtle device fastened inside
May explode any time
At the substance of which
Souls nearby fear and scream
Bringing life to a standstill
Countdown to get it dislodged
Began by the security with a grill
Ended up getting it fixed
Turned out to be a truth
And could be heard
A deafening noise with intensity
At a distance with a surprise
And could be heard
Outbursts of sighs
Tagged with-we are alive….we are alive
Ah, God you are great and good
That wore the merriment of a kind
Wished and cherished
Now consummated
At the sight of life….! ! !
