Thy Creative Deeds

a poem by Gummadapu Narasimha Rao

O Lord Thou exhort soul to extol exalted axioms
Excite exited heart to recite Thy exulted maxims,
Twilight my mind of thy lucid wisdom delighted
Let soul mine éclat ‘Thy Creative Deeds’ elated.

Pedants Thy postulate predictions on the cosmos
Invent theories, on life origin and planetary mass,
Confess Flora and Fauna from evolutionary laws
Quest, concepts of titanic universe without flaws.

Mortals crave unravel, that true secrets of nature
Thrust to conquest, equilibrium laws of universe,
But mind not, who creates components of matter
I acclaim, Thou art absolute, Creator and Master.

Thy mentor, that ether, prime matter of universe
Steadily solidifies as stars and planets numerous,
Intrinsic laws of the equilibrium Thou formulate
Secrets of nature, universe Thou alone modulate.

Thine, best candid child is the placid planet earth
Flora and Fauna, at Thy behest gain proper birth,
All beings live or die by Thine mercy and gaiety
Thy biddings, bind the happenings for prosperity.

How partial art Thou create Flora just autotropic
What sin Fauna commits, with qualities parasitic,
How sad, the Fauna to lead life as the dependent
O God! let Thou grant to Fauna verdant pigment.

Thou create! Flora verdure for survival of Fauna
Let Thou convert all deserts into vitrescent Flora,
So Thy Flora gains, generous gratitude of Fauna
Thou sanction laudable rains to save noble Flora.

Selfless Flora bless Fauna, staple flawless things
Certain merciless Fauna hoax suicidal acts clings,
How ghastly Fauna cut off Flora, for selfish ends
Why not order Thy Fauna, stop all ruthless deeds.

As Thy true replica Flora receive worthy worship
In turn offer foliage and fruits, get rid of hardship,
Prudent Fauna ment, flowers so sacred as divinity
Thou mend minds of mortal men, mean mentality.

Flora avert air pollution the glorious genuine act
Also bring superb rains laudable placid kind tact,
Cure chronic ailment and offer cool grand shade
All kind acts of Flora to Fauna for all times bade.

Among Fauna mankind deem supreme creatures
Desires keep universe under their act of features,
Order them, to tend to protect cosmos for future
Wipe out forfeiture of cruel man towards nature.

Thou create, the pretty nature as Thy incarnation
Thy beauty of nature results in sublime adoration,
Thou fill petty hearts of men, with love of beauty
Let the nature acts akin adroit teacher of eternity.

Thy pet nature bestow with beautiful landscapes
Men work in it dawn to dusk to gratify all hopes,
Bring them! under Thy kind sway day and night
Swell their hearts with virtues and thoughts right.

Urbane Thou art, why cause massive devastation
Dangerous earthquakes, attain abrupt destruction,
Diffusing miseries, to the unexpected destination
Beautiful earth turns to sable victim of distortion.

Thy men attend diurnal toils agilely in the nature
Crave to sleep sound in her warmth lap at leisure,
Suddenly Thou erupt volcano emits, lava around
Entire tranquillity of nature vanishes in a second.

Why Thou! bring big storms by hurricane speed
Ruin the entire beauty of nature, the sordid deed,
Covert, pretty landscape of globe to ugly picture
Poor Flora and Fauna stand, just pitiable posture.

Big fires Thou lit consume all without exception
Toils of centuries turn to ashes with rapid action,
Homeless creatures’ destiny change, claim relief
In no time, whole splendid world plunge in grief.

Why! Thou get deluges and submerge, totally all
Greedy floods root out, Flora and Fauna in brawl,
Mud water bring dirt and germs to healthy world
People live in an inn of famine flirts by the flood.

Merry and mercy art Thou, so all crave for them
Men of any order tune, Thy deeds by the rhythm,
Let Thou swallow angry to gain the world gaiety
Thy passion should result in always-global amity.

I appeal Thy grandeur stop, calamities hereafter
Fauna and Flora pray, Thy acts redeem laughter,
My wisdom knows not Thy paradoxical attitude
Thy love binds me, in temple of serene rectitude.

Let Thy benign shadow stand, eternal protection
Implant serenity in heart to haunt right direction,
Unaware let me tend, no harm to fellow humans
Sanction philanthropic attitude runs in my veins.

Let me extol Thou ultimate architect of universe
More I enchant the greater Thou loom in course,
I am too finite but still elated Thou art pervasive
Thou grant me to exalt Thy noble deeds creative.

In the poem ‘Thy Creative Deeds’ the poet extols
Almighty as the omnipotent that of Creator as well as Destroyer.
Though the lore mortals postulate innumerable accurate theories
on matter, nature and life, still they could not understand
the true secrets of universe, such as the basic component
ether, auto and heterotopy of Flora and Fauna respectively
and also occurrence of natural calamities
those fetch sordid and morbid features to living beings.
But the poet acclaims and exalts that the Almighty
as the infinite pervasive and submits to shower
His grandeur grace and mercy for gaiety and amity
among all creatures on the globe.
