The Hero Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

There he faced a challenge
The mother motivated to the son
To take the challenge in better spirit
The sea expedition to find the missing ones
The poor fishermen lost in the sea
Everyone hoped in the young man of twenty
Who was a best swimmer and able bodied one
But always silent about himself and family
The real thing the mother is the only reality
And the dear and near one he loved so much
The mother told to be brave and face challenge
The fishing job he finds his bread
The young man asked for a strong country boat
And ropes of strength to travel in sea
without fear he commenced his journey
At last in far away place he couldn't find
The missing men lost in the sea voyage
Decided to take rest in the vast rock in sea
And looking the moon with lot of emotions
And praying for the right decisions in mind
He saw some birds flying nearby in sky
He understood there was drinking water nearby
And resting place of migrating birds may be
The following day he gone forward to another rock
Where the water sources was abundant
Happily drunk the sea water and looked nearby
The wrecked balance of old boats were there
And took them to his boat as an evidence
And remains of the dead human's skull and bones
That too collected for return journey
The poor fellows were killed by the Octopus
The mystery behind the death he unraveled
And returned to the home village as a hero
But with lot of sorrow in mind about the death.
Which was however beyond his control he thought.
