Poetry: Nirvana

She wakes up early in the morning
and says, 'early bird catches at the prey;'
(as if late risers would be left behind in the race !)
Well, that's fine for the mocking bird
as her appetite corresponds with the size of her beak,
and her gizzard for the amount of intake ;
but she doesn't seem to know
that the case with whales and sharks is different;
being early or late is no bar to them
as they sieve the seas relentlessly,
devouring whatever comes their way;
to stoke the fire of their endless appetite.
Last time when I met the petite bird
I had to clearly tell her,
it's the size of life that matters,
time is merely an illusion;
early or late in time doesn't matter,
give the humongous devil his due
and all the smaller creatures of the world
will never again need to suffer
from the pangs of hunger
or the limitation of working schedule
Nirvana shall be at their door steps
without trying and for ever.
