Bond, the Hero of all times

a poem by Ramesh T A

“Bond, James Bond” says his name Secret Agent 007!
Tarzan, Flash Gordon and Phantom have come and gone;
Spiderman, Superman and even Batman have come now;
Yet, Bond is still the Super Hero influencing millions of men!

From time immemorial hero worship is there in the world;
That too Bond is a born Hero being loved by everybody;
He wins over everyone by his style whatever is the age or sex!
So smart, clever and humorous that he is the hero forever!

Modern incarnation of God seems James Bond to save the world!
The Bond dream of man may be the future manifestation of God!
James Bond seems to be the modern version of the classical Krishna,
Whose Chakra, club and sword are replaced by gun, bombs and missiles!

Diplomacy, tactics and intuition of Krishna are updated by modern Bond!
Both avatars take pains to save their devotees from dangers of the world!
Both are best in adventures at land, sea and sky to hoodwink all enemies!
Both use all kinds of gadgets smartly to escape and destroy enemy projects!

For all disappointed, dejected and depressed Bond is the best inspiration!
The world wars and terrorism are caused by the madness of some men;
Money, sex and violence are the objects of men all over the world today!
Pursuits of big crimes can be changed to love and peace only by Bond!

Forty year Cold War in the world ended with the dismantling of USSR;
Spy activities increased to ascertain weapons programmes in the world;
But Nuclear Weapons Race still continues in the world without an end!
Fuelling this Terrorism looms larger than real wars in the world today!

Films like Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker or Golden Eye trigger
Fear of fanatic dictator like Napoleon or Hitler ruling the world again!
However hero worship gives inspiration to forget nightmares now a days,
Whenever inspiring hero, Bond appears smashing villains on the screen!

The best kings of the past with added traits were idolised by best artists
For inspiring people and the followers to worship them as a mark of tribute.
Gods personified as statues stand as symbols for men to achieve perfection
As they give inspiration to do jobs and achieve laurels joyously in life!
