He saved us from sin

I am in miraculous event for flying of bird-fishes acrossing phone-screen. I know just now what they have flying behaviour- am I stupid? Or, technology of flying they found are clever for them. Bird-fishes are not just across my dream. My eyes entered into their journey with floating feeling. Lynn Thant had written them as 'man-fish'. Now, what I see is bird-fishes which are flying in reality. flying bird-fishes with wings. I thought to cook them, but they are precious species ? Only to raise and display for beauty. Just bird-fishes. Until now, there are on my phone-screen.

The U.N. Building used to be
A place that kids would visit.
Its soaring presence, lined with flags
Seemed awesome and exquisite.
We learned so many facts and of
Its leader, called U Thant.
If kids today are asked to name
His counterpart, they can’t.
The U.N. once seemed powerful
And countries, when invited
To join its ranks were proud to be
A part of those “united.”
But time and circumstance have caused
That unity to ebb,
Its power sapped and trampled
By the so-called “world wide web.”
The tower still remains, a modern
Ozymandias,
A symbol left for history
And students to discuss.

There are things thant dont efface
Every now n then memories mirrior you face
I still remember that doll in pink
Now unattended, unkempt it will stink
I still remember that ball with light
With every hit it would glow bright
I still remember the exchange of toys
Also the advise beware of boys
I still remember the meagre pocket expense
We managed begging ,borrowing hence
I still remember the craze for mills & boons
How in front of the lecture the novels seemed such boons
I still remember running ,begging n borrowing
the only course left , as novels were so enticing
I still remember how sitting in the canteen
We snacked , passed comments at others,although
in teen
Well, well these memories are etched
They all seem fresh not far fetched.
