O, God Emancipate Us!

Swarup Bhattacharya

O, earth thou art sick.
Thou art split.
An alien hath doomed thee.
Now thou art meek.

Where thou hath lost thy verdure.
Where thou hath lost the sparkling sound of rivulet.
Only the voice of melancholy canst assure.

The Phoebus brightened its countenance then.
Still it appears.
Dothn't thou find any difference as if the face smeared with pain?

O, Cupid now thou art nought
sprit of couple.Thy casting
arrow cannoth seek any heart to remove drought.

Wind thou were blowing
To cool the earth.
Now thou art breezing
as if thou art sighing.

O, God I knell before thee
to pray, bless us
the strength to over wrought
frowning and enimy.

Your verses echo a lament for the ailing Earth, portraying a world in disarray, where nature's beauty has been tarnished by alien influence and the loss of its former vibrancy. The imagery of a desolate landscape devoid of its once lush greenery and lively streams evokes a sense of sorrow and longing for the purity of the past. The reference to the sun's altered appearance hints at a world in distress, where even the celestial bodies seem to reflect the planet's pain. The plea to Cupid, now portrayed as powerless in a world devoid of true love and connection, underscores the pervasive sense of loss and disconnection in a world plagued by discord. Your invocation to God for strength in the face of adversity and enmity speaks to a desire for divine guidance and resilience in overcoming the challenges that beset humanity. more »
