To Be Or Not To Be-A Clarion Call

Rating: 5.0


(The imagery is from salt compared to a Human Goddess Smt Savithri Raman;
With all respect I submit this poem at her feet for her blessings)

One life is all we have
But to sacrifice what you are
Never the law of societies
A fate more terrible than dying!
Elect of each generation
Suffers for the salvation of the rest
Sacrifice is thy Passion above souls equal!
Absence makes things useless but
Thy presence never felt
Preservation your concern!
After salt, water follows the tracks
After confronting you the nectar!
If salt slips into the eyes, irritation
If you slip into the eyes, illumination of the world!
In the vastness unpalatable
In refined form panacea! You too!
Core form makes the surface rough
Required for easy roll of life!
You too made me, the bumblebee
Fly forever, denied flying aerodynamically!
In water, salt loses identity
Is it strategy omnipresent?
After addition no trace of color!
You too are unseen waves
Making vibrating life frequencies
Thee purpose noble fulfillment!
But hell nay heaven of a change in taste
You add flavor to my life
Doing all these things
You do not show your form
Are you God the Almighty?
Salting out of soap
A little pinch brings out soap!
You have pulled me out of misery
Annihilating the finite
You sacrifice infinite!
Ye subterranean God!
Salvation of human world
Nowhere else than in Human heart
You are in our bosom
You are indeed our salvation!
