Open Heart Surgery

By S Raja Mannar

In this world of now

It is the intangible heart

That is due for open-heart surgery

For they are cold and bitter

Now it is we who have to operate it

And make it beat  

In the tune of humanity

So let’s take a surgical knife 

Now that is nothing but kind words

For those kind words have the power

To infuse positivity into a man

Now this positivity has got wings too

For it can travel and touch other hearts

Inducing warmth and hope 

CPR is needed for some

As they are living with so much pain

Now it is only love 

That has the power to resurrect 

For a show of love kindles feelings 

And makes one believe 

That being alive is worth all the pain

For happiness and tranquillity 

Is capable of happening anytime in life

Now there are junctures in life

Where hope may seem minimal 

But if a person has earned people 

Who partake in all things good and bad

It is then people will understand

That there is goodness around

Now that feeling is the messiah

As it facilitates happy living

In final words open heart surgery happens 

When the intangible heart finds comfort in humanity
