                Interview with an Angel

After a long surgery brewed in urgency,
I lie supine with the body pining with fury
With eyelids nearly closed seeking divine mercy
To deliver me from the painful misery.

I seemed to have besought His grace for lengthy hours
When a fair angel with white wings seemed to hover
Around me in the air waving her dainty hands
With warm welcoming whispers worthy of a friend.

Me
She seemed like divine envoy to comfort my soul,  
Can you present yourself, please and voice out your goal? 
I dared ask her with quivers running down my voice,
It is up to her good self to drill out the choice.

Angel
	I am a herald of our divine Father, friend 
	Despatched by our Lord to lend you a helping hand 
	Clear you mind from stress and abate your misery
	And lighten the weight of your whimpering worries.

Me
Can you tell me, angel, why men suffer on earth
From their birth all along to their shivering death?

Angel
	My friend, suffering stems from sundry roots like trees,
	Man was conceived with the light of a mind quite free
        To choose for himself what is good and and what`s evil,
        He opted to concoct a pact with the devil,
        Which gave rise to pride, arrogance and jealousy
        The root cause of all suffering though history.

Me
Dear angel, the world is witnessing tornadoes,
Cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes 
Inflicting havoc on people and plantations
Leading the commonest of folks to starvation,
Has not our Father some fragment of compassion?
To spare the innocent, has He not a reason?

Angel
       My dear friend, to meet his ever-expanding greed
       To satiate his expanding material needs
       Man has disrupted Nature`s critical balance
       Without a grain of courtesy or pertinence,
       Nature`s resources he`s exceedingly tapping
       Through deforestation and through over-mining,
       He is fabricating various devices, 
        To satiate his own whims and caprices:
       Man is the moving cause of his own suffering.
       Through overuse of Nature`s lavish offerings.

 	Nature rightly reacts with its rightful fury
        In the guise of woeful and wild winds energy,
        Earthquakes and violent volcanic eruptions
        Or diverse forms of deadly viral infections
        And spares neither culprits nor fervent devotees
       But afflicts them with varied pace of synergy.

Me
Angel, for many souls, life is stark misery,
Immersed in a deep well of abject poverty
With large segments of the active population
On the verge of sordid and shameful starvation;
To such souls can Father light their path with kindness
And shower on them warmth of His kind-heartedness?

Angel
      Friend, man`s greed for material gains and treachery
      Has given birth to divided humanity,
       With a minority lapped in bliss of plenty
       And a majority submerged in poverty,
       Cursing in the process the divine Creator,
       While misery of man is his own creature.

Me
Angel, many of His loving sons and daughters 
Are afflicted with severe illness and suffer,
Life to them is a lounge for long lingering pain,
They daily utter the Lord`s name, but why in vain?

Angel
       Friend, bodily pain afflicts many a person,
      For for every person alike is not the reason,
       Many human folks of the Lord are forgetful,
       Only of their daily odd chores they are mindful,
       Pain seeks to remind hem of cause of existence
       And relieve them of their sinful ignorance.

       For devotees suffering is a stepping stone
        Towards liberation from bodily prison,
        For ascending to skies of spirituality
        And merging in the wide sphere of infinity. 
 
Me
      Thank you, angel for enfolding the true reason 
       For human suffering and the divine lesson.
