Thrash the Grain Against the Chaff

O' master of my heart! Pray to thee
Thrash the grain against the chaff

This heart is sterile and barren like a babe
has its partner but without being grave
Let it have union with thee
to create a zygot of virtuosity

When the foetus is ready to move around the womb
don't let it guard on its own
since the soul on its own is in grave danger
may  be attacked by the devil stranger

Pray to thee , let the baby come out safe of the narrow passage
And rear it up like a mother and father and then a guide
since roads of life are diverse laned and wide
here the traffickers know no traffic rules 

Be the traffic police to guide its way
so never it has any negative sway 
O' Master! pray to thee become its nurse
therefore it may cast away the appalling curse

Some may look as life as curse, and I guess for some life is a curse. I enjoyed the read!

govind goyal, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
