Vikram

O, Vikram !
Arise and awake,
From this stupor,
Don’t pass into coma,
Neither we will allow,
You to do so.

Show your Vikram,
To the world,
For the sake of 
Your brothers and sisters,
Of  India.

All Indians are praying,
For your recovery,
Though millions of kms away,
To call us back,
And show the world,
“We are second to none.''

And also praying,
It was just a crash landing,
Without any injury,
Just a stupor,
Recover soon,
Though we can’t hear 
you can still shout !!
