Courage

Being on the top of leaning tower
observing everywhere
I didn't notice the sky-touching buildings
but noticed the huts of my nation
didn't notice the colourful lights
rather noticed the dark towns
wider roads were unseen
seen only the destroyed roads.

As climbed on the high tower,
I was not glad even a little bit
my heart was being hurt badly
the chest was being pained
as much as the water of sea
the salty water was being originated from my eyes
on the top of the splendid tower
didn't feel to be climbed up
felt to be dropped down
as the pain after fall down
the equal pain felt by soul.

Thousands of questions were accumulated
why is nepal falling down?
why unable to climb on prosperity?
why no development?
why only devastation?
is that by cause of "brain-drain"?
if yes,why brain-drain?
who is responsible?
the nation or youth?
will it be developed if came back?
will the corruption be stopped?
will everybody get job?
will the environment for business be provided?
getting the negative answers of the questions,
I broke my courage
I became frustrated
wanted to jump down
would like to quit myself
but again coolly thought
if the youth like me fell down,
who will support the family?
who will enhance the nation?
I caught & pulled up the willingness,
which was falling down.

gradually,a strange willingness originated
to see the face of motherland
saw by the telescope of eyes to very far
my motherland was unseen anywhere
but the inner eyes noticed
a beautiful country
a developed country
facilitated country
I decided by heart
now I must proceed to my own nation
otherwise,who will come to make?
must make the nation ourselves.

Immediately,I ordered myself
boy!go travel agency
book the ticket to ktm
spending more & more money,
why do you climb the tower?
If possible,go home-country
add a brick to bricks to build tower-"Dharahara"
no need to spend only the money
but also a drop of your sweat
no need to give the blood
even you can do nothing
even you can give nothing,
give a single word of "courage".
