Resistance Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

Where you lost your backbone?
Where you lost your vision?
Why you grope so in gross confusion?
Open your eyes, stiffen backbone
And hit target with precision bombing;
No more dark spots on the dazzling Sun,
No more soft spots on reinforced steel;
No more aberrations,
No more doubts;
Fence your heart and blindfold the mind,
Focus on target, the cross-section of sight;
No more vacillations while you pull the trigger;
The weapon do rebound
And cracks your bones,
Yet, the knock is worth the shock
To demolish resistance
And build confidence.

Spare no fortifications,
No blind spots, no more hung minds;
No wide shots that send targets on guard,
You must hit direct at the first instance;
No under-cover operations,
No subtle preparations,
No fears you must have of retaliations;
For, they spent all shots
Firing at you;
Just have in sight and press the trigger
And hit as targets one by one
With steel-like heart and ruthless mind.

You ought to know where you stand and what is your range
And stand firm on ground;
While arms in hand and fire in mind,
While target in eyes and vision is clear,
Slump not to act and sink not in cowardice.

Fear not the air that wraps round you,
Fear not the world that works for itself;
You have your task, others their own;
While two should clash, stand up to the challenge
And pursue your path;
Has ever the Sun retracted his path
While caught and engulfed in eclipse?
Nor the Moon did it ever;
They shine as fierce
And glide through the sky
Unperturbed as ever.

Smokes rise in hundred shades
And objects turn indistinct in eyes;
Yet, search your soul,
Move not from objects
And train instincts for the tasks in hand
And keep yourself like soldier in battle-field;
No wall of sand should stop your run,
No fear of man-eaters across sand-wall
Must stunt progress;
You climb the wall and jump across
And face all tides as it come.

This is the way to face the world,
This is the way to crush resistance,
This is the way to race on rightful road,
This is the way to build confidence.
