, When Words Fail .....

  


                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                                When words fail to speak, tears do,            
                                And his tears were not the usual ones,
                                we see welling up in the eyes,
                               In the wake of immense sorrow or joy.
                                                                                                                                                                    
                  

                            Springing up from the painful feeling
                            Of honest labour turned fruitless
                             His tears were indeed priceless,
                             In their true essence.

                           They were neither 'unprofessional ',
                           Nor a sign of weak spirits,
                           But a proof that he is a human,
                           And not an artificial machine.

                           And it was not only he that cried,
                           As he was instantly joined,
                           By millions of  his countrymen,
                           In those midnight moments.

                            His silent tears pronounced,
                            In the most significant way,
                           That intellect and emotions are,
                           But two facets of the same coin.

                            It's the perfect blending of the two
                            That places humankind,
                            At the highest pedestal of creation,
                            Above all other living creatures. 

                           Hence, if you feel an urge for crying,
                            Don't try to stifle those tears,
                            As they are nature's unique gift,
                            Awarded only to human beings.
                                                      
                                                                    
                                                                 

                                                                           
                                                                             
                                                                                   







                                                 
                                   

THE KIND CRUELTY

 An enemy hidden in your  body, 

Strikes  suddenly  in the thick of night,

       Making you suffer from the kind of pain

 You never felt before.

 With the first rays of the sun,

 You rush to your physician, 

 Who refers you to a surgeon promptly 

Making things even scarier.

             

                    

                                                        And the gentleman in  green apron,       
                                                       Consoles you with a smile in the O.T.
                                                     " You will be fine soon, don't worry "
                                                        With his voice fading into silence.


                                                     Two hours later you are told,
                                                     That the culprit has been nabbed,   
                                                     And taken out for good to ensure,
                                                      The end of all the trouble.

                                                                  
                                                    You stare at the big stone in horror,
                                                    But also feel  blessed  and enriched

                                                    With  true understanding of the phrase
                                               "THE KIND CRUELTY OF THE SURGEON'S KNIFE "
