DASVIDANIA (...... ALVIDA)
I stepped out in the morning beauty
With the sun-sky engaging
A blend of endorsement from god
A garnish of wisdom from my parent lords
It was the first day of my profession
Full of anticipation
It was like pearls bounding to form a necklace.
I stepped in the court of masters
Angst to know the future
Drowned in two minds
Will I taste success or not?
Will I succeed?
I was questioned for long
To check my talent hidden forlorn.
They figured the zealous me
And gave me some papers to see
I was selected for that vocation,
It was experience – exceptional
Like a bird soaring high
Words less to express
gleam in my soul
As I had hit a goal.
I thought of buying some sweets
For such happy beats
To share among all-my parents and pals
I wanted to thank the almighty
For thoughI had understood his superiority
For a sudden all over thereI saw that noxious event
I heard a big bang.
In that bus a bomb had been kept
Before I had realized it
The waves hit me hard
With my body burning in flames
I was suffering deep pain
Like old devils at loose
Came to earth to destroy every living soul
My eyes closed
How long could I hold
Tears flew off
And a call from God, I went
And could never see the gleaming sun.
