(086) Kerala: The Most Beautiful Land Poem by premji premji

While walking though
The traffic in Cochin
During the peak morning hours,
I feel: every day is a wonder!

Fortunate are we Keralites
For we don’t have man-made wonders!
Our mother is very rich with
Her natural wonders
Which attracted so many hunters,
Even Killers like Vasco da Gama

Sea to mountains, she has,
Rivers and lagoons everywhere,
Bright sunshine all year
Fertile her land grows spices, with
Wonderful people known for
Their hospitality which
Removes your hostility!

We don’t have pyramids,
Taj-mahal or Great walls…
We only have natural wonders
For every man-made wonder
Is crystal of frozen tears and
Blood of millions of slave hours

I see the dome of Taj
Like a tear dropp of
Ustad Isa…
He took twenty two years
To construct Taj-mahal and
On the very moment of completion,
Sha-Jahan ordered to
Chop his right hand!
Every king is a cheat!

Behind every man-made wonder,
There is a sadistic pleasure…

Welcome to my dear Kerala,
A must see destination
Selected even by
National geographic magazine
If you can enjoy her greenery,
Your minds will remain evergreen…
That’s her grace!
