Poetry from Bhagirath Chowdhary

Older South Asian man with white hair and a tan coat encircled by a red and blue circle reading Global Literary Society Founder.

Tree of Life

Evolution made man

Truly wise and sane

The human child 

Comes to earth

Like a divine tree

Without any worry

So infinitely innocent

Trusting all

Like a loving saint

Desiring to make man like an earthly sage

God modelled man in his own image

And gave man only three commandments

Asking man, be steadfast upon these commitments

God desired to fill the earth with multitude of sages

God asked man to “go and multiply” his images

Multiply doesn’t mean have violent, cruel egoistic kids

But multiply God’s images of kind saintly seeds 

God desiring to make man benevolent and useful 

Secondly, God commanded man to “be fruitful”

Be fruitful doesn’t mean to keep fruits to yourselves

But kindly share like Ubuntu do among themselves

Desiring to fashion man as earth’s holy midwife

Thirdly, God commanded man to “be the Tree of Life”

“Tree of Life” means, man “be a guardian of all Life”

Like tree, a man must make good of existential strife.

This is all about the Holy Bible’s true message

Rest comes from Christ and apostles holy Praise.

Give breath, catch clouds and cook food for all 

Be a “Tree of Life” to nourish, a foe or a pal.
