THE POWER OF SILENT
BOND
Have you ever beheld
the whole, colossal organs
That your Country
has been owning since time immemorial?
Must not you
say ‘yes’; yet you do vociferate
slogans
To stir even the
stars to secure Her at the hours of trial!
Then, what
makes you so close to Her,
Like the unobtrusive
roots and the busy leaves of a tree,
Still, so dependent
on and reciprocal to each other?
It is their unbreakable
bond, you must undeniably agree.
Thus, like this,
the silent bond between you and me
Even without our
Knowledge was wrought by Him,
To last not for
a while, but persist for an eternity!
Sweet smelling,
is not clamorous, but silent affinity!
Hence, let’s both
learn to be as reticent, silent and dutiful as Nature
Carve, before
casting this mortal structure, an imperishable sculpture.
N.B: Sweet smelling, is not clamorous, but silent affinity!
This line is in inversion. The correct
order is: Silent affinity is not clamorous, but sweet smelling!
