SILENT MONSTER

 

P. V. Laxmi Prasad

 

Who am I? What am I? Where am I?

I am become a Name all thru,

The world’s Endangered species.

You struggle to Feel my pulse

I am a Myth and a Misconception.

Faster I run than an Olympian,

Faster I spread than the Lord of Fire.

I transit, I transfuse & I Inject.

 

I am simple & Modest

Yet, complex at work

I frighten every citizen

Yet, No citizen frightens me in return.

Nano Micron as I exist,

I see the world in Macroform.

Kiss me Not, Touch me not,

Sweet Dreams carry Bitter Memories too.

 

I am the Bringer of

Things unattempted yet

In the age of computers.

Every hospital has a Label to tell,

But no Recipe to sell,

Don’t’ Fall into my trap

I am the Monster of Monsters.

 

What is more dreadful

Than my presence in the world?

I laugh at you,

As I have laughed at you,

But Don’t laugh at me.

Catching me Is catching “Silence”

Right, control your senses, Control myself.

Silent & unnoticed,

I lead the world on 1 December every year
