Zero In Essence Poem by Ravi Panamanna

Recent heinous molestation-
Where is our salvation?
Man is becoming a beast,
Life no more is an ice-cream treat.

Man is becoming an unbridled horse,
He is becoming worse.
Can laws save humanity?
Laws cannot return the lost virginity.

If man cannot grow beyond carnal desires,
Life is zero in essence.
If impulses only prevail on,
Life, I should say, is completely gone.

Can't we see them as sisters?
Can't we treat them as mothers?
If your wife is lost in the same maze,
Won't your blood rush in a trice?

Who is taming the inner world?
Who is really caring our girls?
To be respecting the women folk
One need not have a high sounding talk.

If man is erring
Even god will not be heeding.
When religions are showing us the path
Man refutes it with enough wrath.

Such a wrath will burn our dales
Our sisters will be in eternal turbulence.
If our life is without any grace,
Man will perish beyond any trace.
