Kingdom Come Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
Kingdom Come
Kingdom come means next world or world after death,
Kings or kindred are equal here remain without breath.
Kingpin has no power here, remains in soul without body,
Kindling burns the body after death or it becomes muddy.
Kinsfolk can't imagine about kingdom come there,
Keenly they want to know, is good result got in fair?
Karma or action plays a vital role in birth or rebirth,
Kaput body doesn't go with soul it mingles in earth.
Keep down your greediness, lust, violence and anger,
Keep your hand in righteous deeds these will linger.
Keep in mind that soul takes rebirth in kingdom come,
King or queen the soul may be lame, beggar or dumb.
Karma or past action brings the soul to a position,
Kindly meditate God and get good suggestion.
Poet here describes about the world after death. Here there is no power of kings or kindred. Here all are equal means all will remain in soul having no body for some days. Then the souls take rebirth as per their past actions or karmas. This body, in this earth, will be mingled or will be burnt. Kinsfolk can’t imagine about the kingdom come what will be happen there. Here karma or action plays a vital role. As per karma a soul takes birth in rich family or poor family. “Keep down your greediness, lust, violence and anger to remain good in kingdom come. Keep yourselves in righteousness. A soul may get birth as a king, a queen or a lame, beggar or dumb. Karma or past action brings a soul to a good position or bad position as per the work done by the person. So please, meditate God and receive good suggestion”, says the poet. This is the theme of the poem in nutshell. This is written in Deogarh, Odisha, India and is dedicated to the people of the world.

Karma is the factor that rules the humans.Loved reading the poem
Coming of kingdom with love and beauty has power of attraction. This poem is really an interesting poem you have well written.
Thanks for sharing this sonnet with us. I like the repetition of words beginning with 'K' at the start of each line, giving the whole poem more power. You show how important karma is in your country.

I do not know what to believe in as far as an afterlife is concerned, but I do believe in using this life to be kind and compassionate and helping others. An excellent and instructional poem my friend. Peace
