DIDACTIC: "THE RESURRECTION OF LOVE" SOMDATTA MITRA

Affectional deprivation, inclemency, desuetude, anomie lead to lovelessness,

Sterility of conscience, vacuity in the compassionate understanding of coexistence,

Numerous discords segregating compassionate hearts,

In acrimony, life remains entangled in antipathy.

For love is priceless, and loving others is a peace deeply rooted in our blood.

Estrangement in camouflage, disguised dual minds engaging in disunity,

Antagonism and disaffinity have sprouted innumerable seeds of social discordance.

Friends losing trust in one another,

The need to embrace others has become an unfulfilled yearning,

Camouflaged behind the perennial excuse of "being busy."

Let the hearts kindle love today amidst harshness,

Let the minds be calm and more pragmatic in embracing peace.

The divine spirits of all must learn to be kind and empathetic,

Considering others' distress or deprivation as an extension of their own conscience.

Neighbours must not envy,

Lovers must embrace and trust deeply.

Honesty must reign through the smoky clouds of corruption.

Compunction must transform guilt into a conscience capable of building a civilisation rooted in unconditional affection.

Let no intimacy fade in the darkness of suffocation,

Or lie buried beneath the avalanche of unspoken emotions.

And let no heart remain melancholic, neglected like an

Unwatered flower beneath the scorching sun of indifference.

Let care and concern be a vital spirit in all,

To unite smiles and laughter,

Like a thousand blossoms converging into one fragrant garden of humanity.
