Lords of worlds in conference met,
Sick at heart drowned in gloom,
No solution in sight to bloom,
Grieved at last arrived at nought.
Deliberation seemed incomplete,
All the time all they worried,
Talks incensed and electrified,
Yet none knew how to replete.
The glorious Earth began to speak,
"All is not well in my world",
The matchless king tragically told,
The king thus rendered meek.
He did utter in utter dismay,
Half his population fell sick and weak,
To head them he considered a bleak,
"God of the sick"any one can say.
"Heroic people are no more,
People hate love for adventure,
Timid,weak,diseased without rapture,
Has no physic to go from shore to shore.
Thus complained the God of Earth,
To the August Assembly to consider,
The reason why the people are weaker?
Heaving a heavy sigh sat without mirth.
For order and discipline known,
The great Marsian king,
Hymns of praise his warriors did sing,
Rose to voice points his own.
"Markedly my men were stronger,
But I find these days a difference,
That I must tell this royal conference,
I don't know why now they are weaker".
Marsian king with his martial arts,
Made his nation once strong,
His warlike inhabitants did no wrong,
But now weak of body and of hearts.
Reddish vapour resumed to Mars' seat,
In contrast surpassing whiteness spread,
Love God Venus' face everyone read,
With choking and increasing heart's beat.
Venus raised her organic voice,
"People are weak of body"Earth said,
"Also weak of soul" she declared,
While Uranus gazed at Jupiter wise.
None can defy cupid's play,
But today he is the loser almost,
Many embrace Pluto after love's game lost,
And in the house of Hades innumerable lay.
Men are not poised and balanced,
Every chance to fall they never miss,
They betray even their heartiest kiss,
Morally wreck they are so succumbed.
All that glitters here made gold,
Soulless life here does claim fame,
Man does forget that he is lame,
From women to women he is sold.
A timid a weakling and not bold,
Human race so awfully turned,
Disgusted Venus so pungently warned,
She resumed to the seat of gold.
There enveloped a silence of grave,
Who is to follow Venus no one knew,
Perhaps with Jupiter there were a few,
To speak to make the human race brave.
At the time the mighty Jupiter rose,
Like new found lover all gods did gaze,
"No philosophy,no aim binds the race,
They became so vile to discard the rose,
Values lost, character sold,
Truth killed, honesty rare,
I find no man any where,"
Thus all human heads Jupiter rolled.
While Jove resumed,heared a tune,
So nice the voice of Neptune,
When zephyr gently blown,
With Jove his consent sown.
The fairest Neptune spoke further,
"The sad defect in man I also find,
That he terribly lacks a sound mind,
To love no one but his own neighbour."
All gods laughed through tears,
At the sad spectacle of man,
In his beautiful world how he ran,
He cann't recompense even for years.
Saturn the king of the ringed planet,
Stood with his eyes so red,
"Tooth for tooth and blood for blood,
Man ebbs so low in his beautiful islet."
Apollo who radiates abundant sunlight,
Observes man in his darkest jungle,
"In vileness and knavery never does bungle,
He leads a pathetic life without delight."
All gods at consensus did arrive,
That man is weak and without education,
They united to make their's a brave nation,
To make them ever honourable and thrive.
