Hope For A Beautiful World Poem by RAJAT GHOSH

Oh Iswar! Oh Allah! Oh God!
Are You present in present period?
Are You the Omnipresence?
Are You the Omnipotent?
I doubt, perhaps, for your silence,
I doubt perhaps You exist only in
the Gita, or in Koran, or in the Bible.

'Are You ever present in absence'?
The question answers no answer.
Reality seems to tell me...............
You have lost your weak way in the
Maze of venomous vapour of Civilization.
Thirsty Earth wants to swallow only blood
Only to flood its hunger for more blood.

Man is Man's mutual foe today.
Faith has already started its journey towards the
Faithless Horizon and Love has forgotten to define itself.
Mechanization has chocked Conscience carefully,
And the hungry Beasts run, run only to hunt victories,
And the young innocent Buds perish prematurely.

Idealism now knocks at the door of the Crisis,
Oppression, Repression, Torture, Terror, Murder
Top up the white Sky and make it grey and black.
The Light of Protest is too paly to prick the black,
Protesting and resister Sun sleeps among the silenced Stars.
Too bleak, too bleak and bizarre the baren beautiful Earth is.

Is there no way to get out of it?
Where is Hope? Perhaps sleeps too.
I only look forward for a Storm, a West Wind
To destroy the devastating Destruction
And a simultaneous Shower to nourish
The baren beautiful Earth.
