Struggling for life-
In the deep water
A Small Great life!
The silent cry and struggle
Which he expressed
Through his gestures
Fell in my ears!
Even though I stood a second
Without starting the rescue
I approached him with a snail's pace
No more cameras, no more channels!
The inactiveness of an eyewitness!
But the SOS message from the sea
Of that halved coconut, shook me!
Suddenly I bent down
And put my finger inside it
Like a rescue rope!
Then I just pulled my hand outside
And let him go!
He went away without biding farewell;
He went away without conveying thanks to me;
May be because of his inability to speak
I won't get any gallantry awards for this heroic deed
I won't get any civic receptions-
Because I saved not a human, but an Ant!
Yes, a small creature and his Great Life
But I felt a satisfaction in performing my duty
Which was assigned by the Almighty!
