Santosh Kumar Biswa - WHITE DOVE

White Dove
An Anthology of Love, Peace, Fidelity and Humanity by Santosh Kumar Biswa
On the Little Stage
Just the performer we are on the little stage
Be that as it may, the stage appears so tainted.
So dull it appears, the brilliant light is esteemed.
Some appear to be occupied and others oblivious,
Nobody seems to be concerned about their deed,
The act that ought to be, the audience awaits
For the act of decency, love and care.
But, not inwardly do they look to infer,
And the performance looks scattered.
In their own way they represent personal talent,
Nobody bothers, for the stage are debilitated
Nobody watches, for the improvement inside is broken.
Oh performer! Have persistence on your deeds,
Stop, to clean it well first for the better occurring
For if the stage collapse, you all shall collapse
And the show may fail all at once to start.
Better stay cautious for better show to come
So that your audience may rejoice and you as well
And the stage continues for the young generation.
