BE ALIVE

Be alive and be lively as we live
God’s gift is our life as he gave
Life is to live, love it and live
Never ruin it for the fear of world
Be alive as we live in it for God

Mother earth and our God the nature
The powerful spirits we rely upon
Rely on us for our edicts of ethics
With their nature of parenthood
Be alive as we live life in earth

Let us sow, sow the seeds
Of good spirits and fair deeds
Agree with our mother, the Goddess
To keep her happy for us to be worthy
Be alive as we live a life natural

Worthy be our life worthwhile
Save the lives that fall down
Tumbling, wringing, withering
Wry not on virtues, keep it alive
Be alive as we live for virtues

Love each other and bother least
Whom we love and why we love
Know the virtues, love them more
For we all love to live in love
Be alive as we live in love

There is no time , when escalation
Blows out the lights of welfare
Confrontations are irresistible
Respond fairly as we can
Be alive as we live for peace

Wreckage of truthfulness and evasion
Of good deeds, order of the day
Clarity is in questions alone
Answers are dubious in sly
Be alive as we live in control

Let our life be truthful beacon
Remain lively in truce for justice
Dwell in the spirit of harmony
Live for the spirit of good will
Be alive as we live life truthfully

This poem was instantaneous, when I read the news about alarming suicide rate in Kerala.
