The Story Of The Cursed Shoonya

 

One day God was playing with " nothing"

And with his Midas touch he created "everything"

The void got transformed into Universe

The Sun, the Earth, the moon are just a few coins from his purse

Which he threw into the void in a moment of fun

And then added living creatures one by one

The glaciers, the rivers, the oceans the seas

Flowed from the void by the will of the Almighty

The mountains, the meadows, the plateaus, the plains

The dry season and the season of the rains

Are the decorations that he added to the void

All this was happening when with nothingness he toyed

As the God blessed the "Shoonya" out of its curse

The "Shoonya" became the Universe.

 

The Evolution Of The Universe

 

The void transformed into "everything"

That is how the Universe came into being

As the Almighty sat on his revolving chair

Everything started rotating in the air

The Moon around the Earth, the Earth around the Sun

Now, Adam and Eve too wanted to have fun

As they looked down on the Earth from the heaven

They thought that the Earth was the real heaven

Like naughty kids they wanted to play truant

God was watching all this from his celestial apartment

To the Earth, they wanted to take the fastest route

So, they ate the forbidden fruit

The galaxies, the planets, the stars near and far

Are the attendants of the God who is the Supreme czar

 Nature's sounds are actually the hymns

That the Universe sings to celebrate him

As every particle sang praises of the God

Satan found it very odd

So, with his evil forces, he descended on the Earth

To spoil its joy and mirth

Oh' humans, you are blessed with the

"Free will"

You can shun   Satan and evil

The Earth is the other heaven and life is a joy ride

If even after falling from the heavens high, you choose to remain on the God's side.
