Get up, rush to d’ battle field


                                                                                   
Sitting with a saggy face,

tender eye lids drooping

no tear floods from eyes,

yet apparently weeping
In a roomful of people,

behaving fully forlorn

cheerless in my absence,

feels totally abandoned

Not able to perceive me,

but I am precisely there

in ripples of rushing stream,

in dew on d’ grass I glitter,

In sweet chirping of birds,

sitting on our window sill

of course in d’ setting sun,

beyond d’ distant blue hill
In shining twinkling stars,

of a distant dark night sky

in breeze that gently blows

I’m still there, I did not die
Sobbing is suppressed,

yet cries, feels deeply hurt

it’s no devastation at all,

but looks clueless, lost
In reality I'm not visible, 

unable to make a sound

try to feel my presence,

can sense me all around
Sky didn’t crumble down,

no terrible has happened

feel me in your resolves

don’t be betrayed, broken  


Rebuffed by your icon guy?

just impossible and untrue

have enthusiasm, courage,

achieve d' heights u wish to

No soldier cries in war front

fatigue’s rejected, never yield

never weep, don’t surrender,

get up, rush to d’ battle field

A quality hearing aid I’ll present


D’ issue was quite delicate,

how to proceed to persuade

it's usual in advancing ages,

better to accept a hearing aid

Age won’t wait, moves ahead,

must convince his dear wife

not sure how to approach her,

how to rationally tell about it

Talked to the family doctor,

professionally too competent

who noticed his deep concern,

did reveal a bit of trade secret
Asked him to do a simple test,

in no time issue will be known

"be twenty feet away from her,

speak to her, in a normal tone"
Watch if she hears you or not,

note d’ response, her reaction

reduce d’ distance, go closer,

judge if aid’s needed to listen

He calmly walked to kitchen,

she was busy cooking dinner

stood at the decided distance,

a scope to gauge hearing error

What’re we having for dinner,

some appetizing stuff tonight?

eagerly waited for an answer,

but no response from her side
Quietly advanced a bit closer,

asked d’ same question again

his wife took no notice of him,

tension built up in him in vain

Worried of d’ extent of defect,

same query again he did repeat,

no unease, must get an answer

tried at ten feet, also at five feet

No reply came in her sweet tone,

he moved, stood right behind her

honey, what’s u exactly cooking?

wife exploded into flame and fire
She shouted in top of her voice,

"this is d’ 5th time.... it’s chicken"

let us consult the ear specialist,

to rectify your hearing problem
U are unduly protective to me,

overlooked your own torment

wedding jubilee a week ahead,

a quality hearing aid I’ll present
