TO BE RETURNED WITH THANKS!
TO BE RETURNED WITH THANKS!
My inheritance, I am not bothered about;
‘Blood and DNA’ passed on from parents
Along with conscience, and a soul intact;
But, my mind and physique, I just can’t guarantee.
Born so healthy with the genes just muted;
I cried and crawled to stand so tall!
When my mind was abled, my DNA got decoded;
And in all directions, my tentacles spread!
Filth and dirt just got accumulated
When my genes got activated.
Words of wrath, I uttered in plenty
And actions of that sort the genes just evolved!
A new avatar, altogether a new one! When
Character took a beating and my true complexion revealed!
Never did I know, I would be of this sort,
As the environment had its toll on me.
What if I ask and what for is this ‘physique and mind’?
Oh! I’m perplexed; it’s not mine, a God given one!
Then, it’s a new lease of life, I am toying with!
Just a ‘Borrow’ that I borrowed from the Almighty!
God! What you lent me at birth, I have really ruined,
It doesn’t remain as such as you gave it to me!
How could I return it clean, Oh God?
When I’ve already stained it with sins.
For no reasons I changed, to ruin by ‘Borrow’
Could I ever cleanse it and make it afresh?
Help me Oh God to return it spotlessly clean
With whole-hearted thanks!
