Down But Not Out! Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Oh! My heart! Don’t lose yourself!
Like the moon covered by clouds
Like the fire covered by smokes
Like the diamond covered by slush
Like a brain swayed by intoxication
You are a victim of bad times
Droop not your confidence
Time is the Trauma! Time is the healer!
Clouds will be off! The moon will shine!
Smokes will disappear! The fire will rage!
Slush will be washed off! The diamond will dazzle!
Intoxication will end! The brain will be sharper!
Have faith my dear! You are down but not out!
