The Ganges

The Ganges

Once again someone is writing for me,
Once again someone is fighting for me.
Through a paper and a pen,
He is going to reveal my pain.
But I know after few days,
Time will ruin this creation.
And people will forget me,
And my painful emotion.
I don't have eye,
But still I cry.
Everyday and every time,
You came to me,
After the sin, after the crime.
You perform penance for the expiation of sin,
By just taking bath in my mighty stream.
I have no border I have no line.
I am sacred...I am divine.
My journey is full of tears,
But you can't see it,
Because you don't care.
I am your nature, I am your future,
Please help me now, I am in danger.
I give you everything...I am a giver,
I am the Ganges...your holy river.
I am the Ganges...your holy river.

Ohhhh beautifully expressed :)

I am astonished and anmazed by the poem, I like the way you talked in the first person, it's more like I was hearing the cry and anger of Ganges. You win the heart. Those who take care of others are often ignored and taken for granted, that is with this mighty river. Now, it has become a place where people can go to perform their sacred rites and don't bother even to look the river. Say a word against all those rites that pollute the river, you are supressed.
Keep writing, you are amazing in composing words that force people to look between the words and ponder over it.
Great job. Excellent piece of writing!

Yaa absolutely...I totally agree with you...
Actually I am from Patna, Bihar and always I observe and feel the pains and emotions of Maa Ganges whenever I get the chance to visit the bank of river Ganges..and this creation is only possible because of the blessing of maa Ganges..
Thank you so much for your Lovely review...
You made my day....through your words...

I was drawn to click on this piece becuz I knew the Ganges was sacred & I wanted to see what a native person would say to honor your mighty & well-known river. You’ve definitely expressed this well, with so many true-to-life feelings. I love the way you personify the river, making it the narrator of your poem. That’s so inspiring, now I want to try that . . . using some favorite aspect of nature to be sending a message to me. This line: “But I know after a few days . . . “ – this is how I feel about my own poetry, forgotten after a few days. It’s just a moment in time when we try to get the words just right. I don’t think that’s a bad thing . . . it’s just the way life goes with all of us . . . we are forgettable & that’s fine. Very thought-provoking tribute to your holy river (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Omg.....I can not explain and express my emotions in words after reading your review....
I just want to say thank you...
You made my day..
I just hope that this creation doesn't just be a beautiful creation but also be a source of inspiration and inspire people to save our sacred River Ganges...
Thank you once again😄😄

Hmm....Now this comes out as a pain of a holy river!!
The more we protest to make it safe , a section of people are pushing it towards destruction the most......
Oh, how painful that day will be when they'll realise they've strangled their outer heart, The Ganga.......
Thanks for sharing this inspiring Aryav😊

[Anshuman Aryav]

Thank you so much dear.....
In India we call Ganga.....(maae) means mother but today we made it kaamai...(profession/occupation)
Aaj hum apni maa ko Dard de rahe hai even Aab hum unhe bech rahe hai.....isse shramnak aur kya ho Sakta hai...
Maine ek poem Ganga maa ke liye Hindi m bhi likha hai....I hope you will like it too....

[Anjali]

Excellent 👏👏👏💯. The first few lines are superb- its a truth that even though the Indian government, environmentalist and writer's (using paper and pen) are fighting to save our holy river but the pain of The Ganges is soon forgotten.

[Anshuman Aryav]

Yeah!...I just want that my this creation inspire people to save maa Ganges...

[splattercore]

The desire to have the person in your life answer the call when life asks for it is all too real to reveal. Just another item to add to the list of diappojntment when they hurt you in the end. The won't ever feel and they won't understand. It's not their fault, they were never playong the game to begin with. Nice piece! i loved it!

[Anshuman Aryav]

It's okay.

[Anjali]

It is so beautiful, the creativity I can feel it, the pain I can feel it! I think this is my favorite poem by you.
"I don't have eye,
But still I cry."
Just beautiful! This is called creativity. I loved it so much! I am speechless.

[Anshuman Aryav]

First of all thank you so much Anjali for this lovely review.
Previous year I have created 20+ Creations and got a lots of support and love from my readers and now they have a lots of expectations from me, so it's the time to do something miracle, something magical and something beyond imagination...
I just want to say that:
This creation is not the end,
This is just a new beginning....
Abhi toh meri aasli uddan baaki hai...
Abhi toh bas par Kiya hai Samandar...
Abhi toh pura aasmaan baki hai...

[Anjali]

We all want to fly high,and I hope we get what we want... And that we accomplish our dreams, just a little matter of time and hard work. And I really would love to read More of your writings which are going to come soon... You are very welcome!
