Helpless Man

Helpless Man

P K Routray

Have two hundred thirty-nine souls

from over and around the world

innocent duty bound almost all

travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing

eager to meet their loved ones,

anxious to come back to their near and dear at the earliest

with plethora of plans and dreams

on life for self, family, society,

country, mankind and for earth

lost their lives or are alive nothing sure?

Since twelve days with all wisdom

and resources of the entire world

working in unison cannot ascertain

leaving many hearts bleeding and broken

with tortures earthly apprehensions

challenging both theist and atheist to surrender.

Many candles are being kindled

and prayers are being offered

for His miracle and blessings

for near and dear ones to return.

Are we so novice?

Are our intellect and wisdom so incapable and immature?

Then leave everything to Him

with prayer, thanks accepting our destiny

and surrendering to His ways and wills.

Be not proud to reveal His mystery

and challenge His creation.

Instead first love His creatures,

Serve His creation.

Pride, greed and negativity we must shun.
