Unequalled In Human Race Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

A live fulcrum to fall upon,
Rammed deep to the self's mould,
Around which all worlds revolved,
Be it joy or grief or fear,
Was he that, for them, all along his life.

He stood tall like a banyan tree
And protected from rain, heat and wind,
Shed branches and leaves, dried himself
In quiet patience of a mammoth self
To keep his off springs in cool restful shade.

Winds and floods did ravage his face
And dint confidence,
Winds and floods did ravage his face
And dint confidence,
But never his resolve to guard his chicks.

Upright like white,
Soft like full-moon light,
He stood like a fence of wrought-iron sturdiness
‘Tween good and bad and right and wrong
With himself as the cynosure to guide forward.

A noble height in the ladder of honour,
A sacred depth of awe and love from all,
He bartered pelf for grace and self,
He bartered comforts to guard his world
And shone very bright in rectitude's sunshine.

He stalked like a lion in royal grace
In a land of little savage beasts,
He walked along in measured gaits
Not to hurt even an innocent soul
And stood all alone like a beacon and shed light.

He, a sacred temple,
Where all came for peace and comfort
And a valued pleasent friendship too;
No low or high ever touched him,
He gave what he had and won them all.

He might have now crossed seven seas
And traversed across to good judgment;
But he is always he,
Unequalled in all human race
Across the time's myriad barriers.
