Fly
into SPACE but feed the billions DOWN HERE!
As I was gloating and floating
Knowing , sharing the
Space achievements the mars
Landings, Asteroid missions,
Voyager leaving solar systems
Space colonization and living there
My ego ballooned up and
And filled up the whole universe!
Oh, my! I know a lot!!
An inner voice called me
It is fine about your space knowing , sharing
What you do for the poor blokes down here?
They, are starving crushed to death by the
Ever-existent hunger, unfilled bellies,
Don’t know about your outer space up there
They sure know about the space inside their stomach
As it keeps reminding them with the burning hunger
Track the count down to space,
forget not the countdown to hunger time!
It sure enough a prick on my ego balloon
To bring it crashing down to earth
Whoosh!, racing down, crash, thud!
Back on Earth-
My mind went into an overdrive
Have I not offered to work for
Eradicating poverty, hunger
Through science?
Sharing my knowledge on heathy food
Nutrition and health?
Yea, I did
I offered to work with the hunger feeders
The non profits, agencies and the Govt
My image made no impact on them
May be I am a tiny peck on their horizon
To find with their naked eyes!
It is now for them to find me on the
Health sky to find this tiny dot
Let them click, enlarge to study me in detail
And my contents as the astronomer do
About a cosmic body probing inside out
For the time being this peck
Baths the earthlings down here
With the knowledge rays
On a limited scale
Who knows the peck may intensify
On it’s own accord
‘into a dazzling body for the sake of earthlings
Nature, God whoever empower me
Energise me to shine on my own
Reaching the far reaches of the world
Let the likes of me grow in size
Making a team of nebulae galaxy clusters like in space
A team larger is better than a team of single!
Come on , come on , come on my brethren!
Energise yourselves, glow and flow
To join me!
Let us bath and shower the whole millions
The billions and trillions back on Earth
To have their stomach space full
And feel contented, happy!
Explore the world, fly into space
But Feed the hapless billions first
That would be fine gen-next!
To forget the co-brethren
And go about ventures on earth, into space
Is a sin never to be forgiven
Let us not be sinners
But winners in staving off hunger, poverty.
Bringing in prosperity and happiness all around
Let it happen from this very moment
Count down to track hunger time begins!
9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,1,0!
Blast!
Ignite, spread , conquer!
