(The imagery is from salt compared to a Human Goddess Smt Savithri Raman; <br />With all respect I submit this poem at her feet for her blessings) <br /> <br />One life is all we have <br />But to sacrifice what you are <br />Never the law of societies <br />A fate more terrible than dying! <br />Elect of each generation <br />Suffers for the salvation of the rest <br />Sacrifice is thy Passion above souls equal! <br />Absence makes things useless but <br />Thy presence never felt <br />Preservation your concern! <br />After salt, water follows the tracks <br />After confronting you the nectar! <br />If salt slips into the eyes, irritation <br />If you slip into the eyes, illumination of the world! <br />In the vastness unpalatable <br />In refined form panacea! You too! <br />Core form makes the surface rough <br />Required for easy roll of life! <br />You too made me, the bumblebee <br />Fly forever, denied flying aerodynamically! <br />In water, salt loses identity <br />Is it strategy omnipresent? <br />After addition no trace of color! <br />You too are unseen waves <br />Making vibrating life frequencies <br />Thee purpose noble fulfillment! <br />But hell nay heaven of a change in taste <br />You add flavor to my life <br />Doing all these things <br />You do not show your form <br />Are you God the Almighty? <br />Salting out of soap <br />A little pinch brings out soap! <br />You have pulled me out of misery <br />Annihilating the finite <br />You sacrifice infinite! <br />Ye subterranean God! <br />Salvation of human world <br />Nowhere else than in Human heart <br />You are in our bosom <br />You are indeed our salvation!<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-or-not-to-be-a-clarion-call/
