Poem
Expectation
— Ashish Kumar Banik
The hope of such a star—
which was born billions of years ago,
in the womb of the great truth.
Which can sow the seeds of
success from embryo to embryo;
Whose light reaches even
the subtlest level of existence.
Which is the stream of light of liberation –
the sacred call to life;
It reaches the deepest cavity of the
living being and lights
the lamp of hidden light.
In whose bright flame
all the terrible violence of
injustice and oppression
dissolve like camphor.
With whose arrival
the sigh of helplessness ceases,
this wonderful third planet
revives with a sigh of relief.
Whose soft glow paints
the golden tilak of karmajoy on the
sweaty foreheads of future generations.
I hope for such a star —
which will be,
throughout the ages, birth after birth
a steadfast guide to truth,
a true beacon of humanity.
which will be absolutely trustworthy.
