Wholesome and mellow values,
Do not come from out of the blue.
Sage-minds with epic endeavours,
Keep fragrant truth’s paradisal milieu.
When love sweetly permeates life,
The moth in man awakens,
To sacrifice his treasured identity;
He becomes a dot in truth’s lucence.
It is the fragrant honey in flower,
That attracts a honey-bee, ever a-flutter;
Nocturnal moth attains consummation,
In brasing beauty’s lustre.
All are not moths or honey-bees;
Some have snake type of mind,
With subtle and overt designs,
To smother the victim and bleed him white.
When the delinquent in man is alive.
He flouts every norm and decent value;
Sex appeal or silver nurture his soul,
And he happily prospers in tenebrous milieu.
Where is the seed-flame of truth,
To ignite sleeping lustre of soul?
Where is the thirst of poetry and song,
Unquenchable by rose-wine bowl?
