Malady Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

I must shine bright,
I must shine more and more, you say,
I do that all the time,
Said a little star located on the other side far away,
Why object,
Am I not one of your kind bursting with energy?
The Sun, an ordinary star, shining bright,
Insisting, took the lead,
It wanted others around to shine likewise,
It did not desire Darkness to remain anywhere,
It knew that only a joint effort could permanently dispel Darkness.
Agreeing, one of the dimming stars inquired -
Darkness is not a material object that it can be ripped, washed,
Or scrubbed away?
The light we all emit would do that, said the Sun,
We shall deracinate Ignorance for good,
Let us together spread the knowledge of our existence,
Ignorance will immediately end.
Actually, to date
The joining of all hands has not occurred,
Darkness remains so does Ignorance, and
Evil remains in the lives of all living beings,
And therefore, there is Death.
