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!
* beheld - seen
* colossal – vast
* since time immemorial – continuing for a long time
* vociferate – shout/cry out
* unobtrusive – unnoticed/ inconspicuous
* undeniably – unquestionably
* wrought – shaped/ formed
* persist for an eternity – continue for an infinite period
* clamorous – noisy/loud
* affinity - closeness
* reticent – quiet
* carve – shape/fashion
* imperishable sculpture - everlasting monument [make our life immortal]
