In vain- A seed which couldn’t germinate! A bud that didn’t bloom into flower! A fish couldn’t swim freely into water! A bird in a cage at the mercy of the owner! An animal in the laboratory away from nature! An unfortunate prey waiting to be slaughtered! A pet lived alone among people neutered! A body deprived of romance leading to heir! A foetus aborted for convenience of irresponsible lovers! Eyes without vision to see everything everywhere! Ears which couldn’t listen to sounds traveling in the air! A tongue without luck to quench thirst and relieve hunger! Hands which couldn’t work and grow a plant with care! A mouth which couldn’t express joy of freedom in love! A mind that never wondered about grandeur of universe! A nose could never enchant brain with fragrance of flower! In vain- A heart which never fell in love with compassion! A soul untouched by others’ sufferings and celebrations! A leader who couldn’t speak truth under oath for illusion! A voice that never rose against war and oppression! A life eliminated by abusive violence of violation!
A human which couldn’t realize universal notes of Salvation! |
