All Hail the Mighty

As the whole world fell dark and grey,

People engrossed by bleak and dismay.

Eternal was the night, the sun had fled

Doomed were the lively, as their lives were dead.

And then the winter stepped, cruel as a demon

Hate became harder, clear was its sermon.

Shackles tied, the people horrified

They couldn’t resist so they obliged.

Rulers bestial, they took themselves for sovereign

Absolutist and anarchist, their regime was mean

Their armies raped, their armies robbed

The tides of crimes were high, for long had people throbbed.

‘We shall light a lamp’ some bravely wise men resolved

Their resolve only to be bowed.

As the light couldn’t stand the snowy wind

But the wise were very determined.

They kept it lightened, every time and hour

Against the winds, against the snow, against the shower

The light was hope- though meagre and small

For their foes were heavenly and tall.

Before the light, they teared and sobbed

‘Hey lord thee cometh and saveth’-they prayed and hoped

But light was a sin under the evil regime

The wise weren’t spared, and punished for the crime.

Some wise slaughtered, some new rose and came

The hope was rising, so was the lamp’s flame

The times were tough, but determination at peak

Finally, the lord was pleased, and stepped to help the weak.

“Behold him, the ever smirking and jubilant

Always gentle, loving and eloquent

His patience beyond a man can have

Engrossed inside a virtuous suave?”

His words soothed, his words inspired

His words caressed, his words admired.

He was a sage, he was a warrior

He was a saint, he was a savior

Like a torch flamboyant he shone

And marched against the dark throne

With every step he took, the land turned sheen

From dark grey it turned lush green

He was followed, he was cheered

As scores joined, the enemies feared

He dispelled the dark, he broke the chains that spreed,

He settled the winters, and undid all the misdeed.

And then, he confronted the enemy, face to face

With his followers brimming with grace

Their courage unchallengeable, their strength unified

The enemy lost apparently, and after long had people sighed.

His wisdom mightier than seas and higher than Himalaya

Some call him Krishna, some call him Kanhaiya

His words were, and are still, the acute opulence

All hail the reverential, Lord Krishna- his excellence.
