That Christmas Evening... : A Christmas Special poem by Trishita Das


The nature dressed itself in that dazzling gown,

Quivering the leaves and branches of the fir trees,

Caressing my skin and

Freshening my soul,

Chanting a rhythmic hymn of the winter afternoon,

Ornamenting itself with beautiful sceneries and breathtaking greeneries,

That it seemed like it would be a Heaven soon!

 

It was a very special day for all of us

It was 25th December,

It was Christmas,

It was the Day of Christ,

The weather was awesome and fantastic

Enough to make me ecstatic,

Touching the roof of my house was the Christmas tree

Decorated with stars and chocolates

That gave me glee..

The table was decorated with delicious foods

Inspite of all the glorious glare

 All the families started quarreling, hating and beating each other.

Their eyes portrayed the vivid glowing flames of their hatred, jealousy and their uttermost desire to slaughter all their nearest ones

There was no happiness, no cheering, not even one grinning

 Everything just felt too strange

Just as if all the humans came into their real state..

 

Waking up from my deepest dream,

Realising it is 25th Dec,

The same day, the same weather but the evening was different,

With all the families cheering and laughing and enjoying, different from my dream,

There was no quarrel, no war, no hatred, no discriminations

Which felt the most strange

Then I realised their actuality,

The beaming smile that they bore,

was nothing but a fake smile underneath which lay all their deepest wicked desires.

I wander lost in their gameplay of life,

How beautifully they pretended to be loved keeping that burning hatred inside them.

How falsely they portrayed their cheering with their fraud laughter.

Lost in the thought,

I concluded that at least in my dream they didn’t lie, they didn't deceive each other.

At least they acted who they really were but didn't pretend to be one.

This isn't a Feminist Mark : A poem by Anushka Jana

 However much we think, Or hate the colour pink, Can we be fearless like you? Or be as daring as you? Do you think we’ve purpose, Like delicate flowers, a simple rose? To exhibit when it’s fresh, And throw when reduced to flesh?   Will it be a sin to do? Things that most of you do, Blaming, shaming and curbing us, We wonder how many of us you did curse! And why would you do so? Because we let our ambitions grow? Because we step out of veils And look fabulous in our esteem, Or because we love ourselves And try to look out of kitchen shelves? We dream to invent remedies, To sign important treaties, Pen down novels without pen names And excel in various games. Driving cars and repairing lights And guarding streets on dark nights And to speak, to debate, We want to do things and not wait. And we didn’t sink our hearts, Neither focus only on sewing skirts, Nor on only cooking for your bunch of kids, But we tried to help you pay h

SDG Story Writing Contest (1st Prize Winner) : Who is the Best---The 17 SDGs by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life. Perhaps this is the only way we can ensure that human civilization is not wiped out of the face of this Earth.
