Vibhishana Poem by Puspanjali Sahu

Vibhishana



Serenity was everywhere
after that night
Calmness declared its
existence for infinity
All eyes were wide open
as if they are seeing
immortality,
or a ray of light
brisk bright

But I knew,
an intense darkness will be there
waiting only for me
in my vanity
What I lost
will not be reflected
anytime anywhere
in your minds
or on the pages of history
Rather
I will be ill-famed
in my own land
in my country

But somewhere
I had a feeling
that I could
bring back your smiles
Smiles,
for an eternity
And
it does not matter
whether future will see
your smiles
as history

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Vibhishana - younger brother of the demon king Ravana is the only one in Ramayana who stood against his family's misdeed. Though Vibhishana is considered as an enemy of his own family, It is because of his effort people of Lanka live a peaceful life afterwards.
It is time to follow Vibhishana's footsteps. You could not avoid loving your relations, neither your country but you stood stand against all of them if you feel their doings are bad for society

(after that night - after death of Ravana
what I lost - death of family members
Whether future will see your smiles as history-peaceful periods never get historical importance)
