Undefeated mankind

Will you allow me if I want to die               

In this pandemic when one tries to save n be safe

Me n my strong desires don’t haunt you in your hellish dreams 

Dreams to be…. no need to….to say sorry

No need to apologize or celebrate my victory

 

We learn to win together we decide to live together

We promise to survive together not suffer – but be secured

To love and to be loved hereafter

 

As we promise…

Promise to me promise to you promise to our frozen souls broken hearts and scary bodies

Live together love together and even snatch together

 The golden sun to bring happiness in this life span

To the hungry weary trodden world of melancholic happy prince

And selfish giants!

Long Live the Poet  

A poet can’t die

Like the Phoenix he sings those eternal tunes

 

The valley of death the rally of corpse

Again get ready to live once more

 

The evening star dares to peep,

The morning sun’s willing to care

 

The golden crops share hopes to the hungry world

The wretched distressed traitor or deprived tyrant faces get equal mercy

The poet… the immortal soul of the universe

The ruler of heaven and earth

The creator of devil or divine and dreams

Can never die…

 

Like Phoenix he smiles and reveals the truth

The saga of victory… the rebellious journey of undefeated mankind…
