Animal Kingdom(20)The Good Luck
******************************
(when good-luck becomes a curse--)
He was the 'good luck' in person,
Live,dwelling fortune,for the family,
This best of luck; was in their trap,
Though,this old turtle seemed so silly.
The drawing-room was well decorated,
The show-case had mini bulb and fan,
His half-spoon diet was most hygienic,
This messenger of luck floated in vain.
The drawing-room was well decorated,

His half-spoon diet was most hygienic,
This messenger of luck floated in vain.
'Feng-shui' has taught the myth,
That turtle is treasure so vast,so funny,
Long life,progress,health,
Turtle showers-heaps of money.Thirty years had passed since then,
He had not seen the sun,in dome,
He did not remember color of sky,
This glass-showcase was his home.
Glass sheet divided it in two halves,
A female-turtle was in other section,.
Thirty years of platonic love erased,
When sudden death was 'her' last action.
This unknown,untouched life-partner,
Departed,left him.The empty half space,
Clean water surface,bubbles coming up,
His legs slipping on walls of show-case.
Turtles live long life-even hundred years,
Life was a curse for this 'lucky' creature,
Desperate, laid helpless,stopped eating,
Most unlucky was, this fortune preacher.
He is going to die,all symptoms are clear,
House owner will remove this show-case,
A mini gold turtle is bought, to shower 'LUCK',
His dead body will rest in pond-his native place.
Before death, last thought comes in his mind,
'I am going to my Creator,I will pray this feature-
"Why You bestowed all the fortune upon me?
Next time, kindly make me most unlucky creature."
