Come With Me

Come, walk with me into the streets of gaiety

To inhale the placid air

Let’s think no more of this pandemic pain

That embalms the entire earth alive

Come, go dine with me near the river banks

And later join the ecstatic fish

That happily spread their fins in the water

Enjoying their free and contented lives

Come, dance to the sound of the quiet breeze

Under the shady trees of banyan

That saves us from summer’s unrelenting heat

And heal the world with unique medication

Come, go follow the isolated camels

In the faraway deserts

To listen to their melancholic reality of life

And then let’s chant a relieving song for them

Come, let’s raise our voices to the God above

In a confession to all our misdeeds

And let’s extend our pledge

That we shall never abandon our Mother Nature again.
