Umbrella
MANJALARUVIL JOSEPH CHANDY 1943 (Kottayam in Kerala,)
Umbrella the safety shadow,
Given by HIM to the mankind
Safe use, warned by HIM
But used uselessly and damaged
Time has come to suffer due to
Misuse without seeing the warning,
The great umbrella is damaged
Through which seasons effect badly
Bitter feeling, bad feeling when
seasons effect the mankind,
Gather intelligents searching, searching,
The way out to repair the umbrella.
God made, man made hole, main air lost,
Who can repair, but can only by HIM
Why unintelligent gather as wise,
Look at HIM at last, look at HIM finally
