At last, a man approached him,
He bent down and robbed
him
Not just of his money and
chain, But of his desire to live again.
He shut his eyes, began to
say,
"God take my life
away.
"I don’t want to be
a part
of a world which has an,
iron heart".
"Search your
own," said a voice
He did so, he had no
choice.
What he found made him
sad,
He was equally sinful and
bad.
"What right have you
to ask for mercy?"
said the booming voice
again.
"You don’t deserve
deliverance,
You will have to bear this
pain.
Sinful acts have a price
to pay,
You shall live in this
cruel world,
till your sentence is done
away."
So the man was rescued.
He lived on.
He scrubbed his soul,
Till his sins were gone.
He succeeded in his task,
His sins were forgiven at
last.
He died years later,
With a smile, soft and
faint.
From a living devil,
he became a dying saint.

My dream
Once I happened to see a
dream,
I dream of India advancing
with full steam.
No schooling, no oral
education,
All that we had was online
education.
Everybody had his own
plane,
And no day was dull and
plain.
Things of love still
survived,
Keeping the hopes of
humanity alive.
With this, my dream came
to an end.
