You Are Pure Sacrifice Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

I know, you're all devotion,
Leitmotif of dedication,
No clue of self anywhere
In life, thought or action;
How can you be so different
Where self is in breathing air,
And self is the fuel that drives,
Where nothing tides for no gain.

You are pure sacrifice,
A sculpture of innocence
Standing erect to the sky
Like Everest on Earth's crust,
No dust or clouds to mete out;
You're that sacred naught
That drives the world forward
On its evolution's path.

In world of evils and devils
Where demons with bared teeth
Wait to pounce on all,
How can you be so selfless?
Who gave you this confidence?
I know, you are pure strength
Within your simple sheath,
Creation's true wonder you're!

You shed out all you have,
Stupendous mount of treasures,
Life, fame and social root
In cause of pure devotion;
Lived in solitude in pain
In the light of loyal heart
In wait of what you want, though
Impossible in life to meet.

Loyal, dedicated devotion,
Sacrifice is your life sign;
Lived not for indulgence,
You're spotless excellence.
