GODLY PARENTS

You were the ones who cared for me; sacrificed the most
minutest of your belongings to see me blossom till times beyond
eternity,
You were the ones who incessantly showered gifts upon me;
slept many a times without inevitable morsels in your famished
stomachs,
You were the ones who safeguarded me like a formidable
fortress; taking the brunt of the murderously acrimonious world;
directly on your shivering chests,
You were the ones who ensured that I always smiled; weeping
inexplicable tears in solitude; as the deviltried to lambaste you
from all sides,
You were the ones who unrelentingly encouraged me towards my
goal; when the extraneous world outside fretted and turned an
uncouthly deaf ear,
You were the ones who sequestered me from every ray of
sweltering heat; bathing in whirlwinds of perspiration every
instant; as the fireball of Sun; blazed to its most unsurpassably
vicious radiance,
You were the ones who responded to even the most faintest of
my cries; lived a countless sleepless nights; while I snored to
blend with realms of absolute heaven,
You were the ones who instilled in me the essence of life;
ensured that my impoverished soul transcended over the
boundaries of paradise; even at the cost
of your precious extinction,
You were the ones who taught me how to crawl; walk; conquer
every obstacle that confronted me in my way; even when the
blood flowing in your veins was rapidly
evaporating over the threshold of obsolete oblivion,

You were the ones who magnanimously nurtured my every

desire; saw to it that I diffused the philanthropic fragrance of
mankind; even when you were besieged from
all quarters with the most devastating of disease,
You were the ones who passionately discerned the artist
fulminating in my beats; even as the planet outside savagely
massacred it with swords of macabre manipulation; even before
it was born,
You were the ones who shared each unfurling second of my
agony; listening to the innermost voices of my heart; even as the
society around; was devouring you
in its horrifically greedy belly,
You were the ones who bestowed upon me a roof to live till the
times I wanted; even as you coalesced with infinitesimal bits of
threadbare dust outside; to pacify my list of ever augmenting
demands,
You were the ones who defended me against the most diabolical
of foes; selflessly beheading your scalps; to witness me sprout
into an unfathomable fountain of
happiness,
You were the ones who stood with me for the love of my life;
spending your entire existence in dilapidated dungeons of
penance; for the plethora of misdeeds I might have unwittingly
committed in my quest for the ultimate summit,
You were the ones who laughed when I laughed; cried when I
cried; relinquishing your fathomless list of personal ambitions; to
make me eat the fruits that I wanted,
You were the ones who followed me like an incorrigible shadow;
in good times as well as bad; even though I snubbed you
sometimes with cloudbursts of irascible
pertinence,
You were the ones who perpetually remained my friends for
centuries incomprehensible; even as those closest to me stabbed
me insidiously with

dagger heads of prejudice,

You were the ones who were immortal angels; having not only
given me birth and your name; but harnessing each part my
persona till date; with your breath; your
heart; your very own blood,
And even if I assimilated the entire wealth on this earth; it would
still prove a fraction too frugal in front of your divinely
countenance; instead I proudly proclaim to the entire Universe;
that you would always remain; my Godly parents.
