An inspired writing.

I was inspired to write this poetic prose by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's, The charge of the light brigade. --- Dr. Bibhash Chakravorty. A glorious battle, a hope against hope, a love and war ! 1. From the soil of the mother earth they rose, as if from death. Kissing the petal lips of the flowery roses of red, pink, yellow and white fragrance. They had sweat on their brows and strength in their minds and love in their hearts. They carried glittering swords in their bare hands, hammered in the fiery womb of the earth, to shape and sharpen their edges. Led by their leader they had a code of conduct and a code of character, all six hundred and sixty six of them. They were battling against two evil bourgeois which ruled the earth, waters and sky with their tyranny and oppression along with their evil followers so long, aeons upon aeons ! The 666 were but only soldiers, brave indeed, for they battled a battle with no hope except the hope of the hopeless which kept them alive. Not all of them though. Some died in the battlefield, some in the hands of kind healers. The battle was not over because evil is never dead, you learn to keep it under your feet. Their relentless march evoked a thick storm of dust from their feet below, which shook the ground and blinded their evil opponents ! After all they were the çhildren of the soil and dirt ! Canons roared in front of them, behind them and on their sides, from their as well as the opposing side. They did blast the evil with the force of their canons and decapitated the spineless traitors with their swords. Even a faceless evil of dark magic was defeated and conquered. Their was a tragedy in their glorious win. When they returned home to kiss the petal lips of their roses, they saw their flowers had withered and new flowers were blooming but they were not as fragrant or not as red, pink, yellow and white ! What a burden of sorrow they had to bear ! Their rosy petal lips forever lost ! They were black pawns in a strange chess game, but though many of those pawns crossed over to the end of the other side it didn't fetch their queens ! Their dreams were both sweet reality and nightmare too. This was their curse and gift too. The leader used to sing a serenade beside his withered red blossom hoping against hope that the earth would return his rose someday. 2. From the bowels of the seven seas they rose, the ten pirate lords, all females with their Queen leader and one Man pirate their king the eleventh one who loved the queen and she loved him more ! They had captured a ship with a crew loyal to them but the ship was old and broken at the hull so the crew had to empty the leaking ocean water every now and then. The pirates brave and bold, had a code of conduct though they were pirates and they were fighting against a terrible monster with many serpent heads which lay underneath the strong natural currents of the seven seas and caused shipwrecks and death tolls of many sailors. Nobody had seen the monster. The pirates had sweat on their brows, strength in their minds and love in their hearts. Their swords glittered in their hands and their crew toiled hard to row the broken ship against the tide. They were children of the ocean and knew not the shores or the land. But on moonlit nights when the moonlight made the water in the distant horizon shimmer like jewels, the pirate king would play a serenade with his flute to his beloved queen and ask her, is there a shore at all ? The queen would say, I don't know love but why not try to find it ? On the darkest moonless nights the king would look at the celestial night sky with his telescope pointed at the distant stars and planets to ascertain their position and set the sails in favour of the blowing sea breeze steering the ship on a correct path. One day hell broke loose. The sea demon had come to know the pirate's intention. The sea became furious, raging with colossal hurricanes and swirling water threatening the ship to drown in the deepest of the deep abyss. The pirates who could tame the raging seas no longer seemed capable of further defence. But for the first time they could see the horrible nine headed serpentine faces of the vicious demon. What a glorious battle they and their crew fought with their glittering swords and thundering canons. They proved that men and women pirates can harbor a courage and a fire within them which can make a vicious, powerful monster seem puny. The serpent was finally beheaded. But there was a tragedy. The queen whom the Man pirate king loved lost her life in the battlefield, on-board the ship though after fighting with bravery. She was buried in the sea ! What a tremendous burden of sorrow the king pirate had to bear. Her queen forever lost with no sighting of a shore. He still plays the serenade with a whisper to his beloved but absent queen pirate, hoping against hope that the sea will return her someday ! 3. From the womb of the sky they rose, from inside the darkest suns which do not emit light. Seven masters of light and their king, eight in total. Their power was gravity, they were it's cause, they exuded gravity ! They had ethereal bodies of black fire like the Angeles and rode on the wings of wind and fire, glittering gold all eight but only within which nobody could see. They were the masters of the universe and beyond hidden by the void, the spaces in between spaces. They travelled on the wings of fiery Pegasus with light sails throughout the cosmos ! All of them loved their queens, eight bright stars, seven of them emitting golden yellow light but the eighth one emitting a greenish blue hue, like an emerald, a jewel in the crown. This was the knight king's beloved. All eight had sweats on their brows, strength in their minds and love in their hearts. Their shimmering weapons were made in the wombs of dying stars, as solid as fiery iron which they carried in their spine. Dying stars, a shame really that something as beautiful as stars should die but at the same time that was the source of their invincible weapons to fight against a faceless and formless evil which reigned the void like a cruel dictator killing the stars one by one with it's weapon made of time ! It had two parts both non genders. But the faceless evil didn't know and neither the king himself that someone hid himself in a small part of the evil's own timeline until the very end ! All of them had a code of conduct. The evil destroyed planets like the mother earth too with all it's inhabitants, flora, fauna and Humanity. The eight were after the lost world of Asgard which the earth people knew as the Lost world of Atlantis which the evil dark lords had usurped against the law of the cosmic vibrations ! The eight were the guardians of the galaxies ! However the immensely powerful of dark magic, the evil juggernaut could see the past, present and future in their time crystals, however flawed they may be and plan their battle tactics ahead by conjuring and deceit ! The guardians had one advantage, they envisioned their future in the only natural time sphere they had, the real universe. They could see their past almost upto their origin by looking at the stars and galaxies and their future was written there. They could only dream of their future but were never sure, they only had conviction of their past and hence in the present, the dreamers and visionaries and seekers ! By having conviction in the present self they had a hope for the future, and this kept them going. The battle ensued for there billion years. What a vallor did the guardians show. The dark sky lit up in crimson and red fire, many stars sacrificed their lives. Many other dark suns were ejected out of their existence. All the zodiac beings and planets took part in the Jahed battle !! All of them took a part of the evil soul in their death. Their death along with the explosive death of super-stars provided for new stellar nurseries in the dust, which lit up the sky with colourful, and wondrously shaped nebulae and pillars of creation. Finally the evil forces were defeated and the guardians proved that the future was not set. It was a blank scroll in which could each of them write as they wished ! The evil was burned eternally inside the infernal bowels of the hottest stars, which gained eternal life ! The king guardian who had always looked at the earth from his seat in the blackest sun many light years away for a reason he couldn't reason why finally came here at this world where he was transformed into a Man. And this Man had made the blue sky meet the earth much nearer than the horizon ! But there was a tragedy. From earth he could see his beloved emerald jewel, blown up in the celestial night sky as a galactic spectacle of a supernova. This had happened aeons ago but the Man didn't know that for he was engaged in battle. What a burden of sorrow he had to bear. The sorrow of lost love was enshrined in his tears which rose from his heart and fell from the mind of his eyes. He still plays a serenade under the night sky for his beloved hoping against hope that one day the sky would return her to him as a Woman of this beautiful earth ! On dark nights from mountain tops the Man could see his childhood face resting on the bosom of a holy, ghostly figure in the centre of the Milky way with the figure of an evil, old bearded man with gnashing teeth, protruding tongue and protruded eyeballs burning in the depths of hell below his face !!! His innocent young face would beckon to him ! 4. All these heroes from the land, seas and the skies were warriors but though they made history with their courage and valor their names were absent in the pages and ages of history for they were but warrior soldiers wearing the mask of anonymity. They respected only the grand time to reveal themselves ! They were unsung heroes who were not supposed to reason why but to do and die ! But they won, slowly but surely ! THEY WERE ALL REVENANT LIVES WHO CONQUERED DEATH AND SAVED THE WORLD BY USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF ETERNAL LIFE ! The unsung heroes made life find a way inside the sorrowed heavenly forest fire in the infinite expanse of the ocean waves of this Void !!! --- Dr. B. Chakravorty.
