‘Beatrice’s, the earth’

Consider the earth to be the best angelic friend deputed to their patroness, Beatrice. In fact, she was responsible for the supervision and, the law and order of the planet, Earth. Beatrice was the team leader directly responsible to an unseen director. No one except Beatrice has seen their director. Even the earth has never seen him/her. The earth is the highest angelic official at his abode-cum-office situated over the strata of stratosphere. The radio or electromagnetic waves never disturbed them. It was a heaven of the low-key type. Still, comfortable for an undisturbed dwelling.

The official, earth regularly observed her duty only in fear of Beatrice and the unseen director. Her supervision had become superficial now due to the banal monotony of her invariable job. To avoid this same old tone, she began consuming leaves of the hemp. This was fresh from the Earth. Thus, she was able to develop a rapport with her duty by this device of inebriation. She now smiled and laughed all throughout, but that only went unheard and unnoticed of the planetary dwellers. These people never thought that they were ruled above by someone in a narcosis.

The planetary beings went on with their quotidian works. The evil being in a larger percentile- there are numerous forms of evils- on their activities. So, official earth being much lenient now had just turned off her face from them. She comes only to ward off her penalty. Beatrice comes once in a blue moon day to offer her supervision. And, the earth looking to that situation creates a utopian atmosphere over the planet to satisfy Beatrice for that moment. Every time, the earth turns out to be fortunate. The giggling time came when the earth was evaluated with grade A rating. She was overflowed with gifts and perks of all kinds for her sincere duty of meticulously administrating an important part of the galaxy- Ganges. Among all officials, the earth was judged for the “Administatrix of the highest Acumen” prize.

Now, responsibility makes one able and matured. The earth had begun taking her duty with broader shoulders. She now had a grave outlook on her duties. But, hemp contained an indispensable part of her. She would not discharge anything without those leaves. The leaves gave a new life to her. She also accredits her prize to those leaves. The leaves without which- she says- she would not have stood where she stood now.

Six months later. This was the first time; she lodged an F.I.R., a complaint at the sheriff point, down the abode of Beatrice. The complaints should pass on through the sheriff for the ultimate decision, resolve and signature of Beatrice.

Here, when the sheriff read out the longest complaint ever filed by any plaintiff, he gave a grinned gesture of anguish. His tongue between the two sets of his teeth and jaws. He scratched his bald head and the few countable hairs at the edges of the head stood now straight in utter indiscipline.

Complaint petition

To,

Ms. Beatrice,

Chairwoman,

Committee of the Celestial Gospels

Dated, 12^th December, 1212

Name of plaintiff: Official, the earth, ex-best administratrix, area allotted-planet earth.

Subject of complaint: Controversy over the horse latitudes and horse genocide.

Reverend Ma’am,

On honor and with heartfelt respects that are due, I am the earth, official of the angels. Ma’am, with full consciousness and spirit, discharging my humble and the best duty over the place I am assigned, which is also a major part of the Ganges, I stand here today with a decision. And, the decision is- a complaint. Please consider my complaint as a modest threatening to avoid any suicidal attempt or resignation on my part. Ma’am, you’re very good. But, you have become very lazy; like the sloth. Did you ever see the three-forth part of the planet you have assigned for my purpose? Those are water, only water- lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. I have never talked about those shit filled lakes and rivers. But, today I think I should speak my mind about the seas. Ma’am, they say here’s the horse latitude. They throw horses in the middle of the sea- beautiful, red and white horses. Are these horses born only to die like the ants, mosquitoes and crickets? Their fates are in the hands of the mighty Arabs. The tender, delicate and beautiful creatures that not only stand faithful to the masters, but also offer strength and support to them, while they cough in fatigue are being killed, massacred brutally. Their lives are fully tortured. They are nowhere in between the Scylla or the Charybdis. Is this not genocide of the odious kind? How can you afford to see a creature being so odiously repressed by only one mighty group? I cannot, can you? Now, you please don’t stay supine like the sewage swine, like the early days and years you have so spent with leisure and respite? Show rapidity in your movement and act fast. Be fast if you are really the Beatrice of Ganges, of all the planets? Never think I am now your humble supplicant. If you’re a good authority give protection to the stables, and also outside. Empower me so that I can build the strongest stables on Earth and also empower these suppressed ones to instead rule over these bloody patriarchs. So, as I say, act forthwith to this petition for a better Ganges.

-Yours angry petitioner,

the earth

Beatrice was at first astonished and addled over her decision. She thought that her angelic official has gone haywire, crazy and has filed this petition in a boozy state. We did not know that, the sheriff was the investigating officer. The complaints should be confirmed and authenticated after it was filed at the sheriff point. And, that was the duty of the sheriff to do. When he brought the genuineness report, of the petition filed by the earth, he could expound it easily to Chairwoman, Beatrice. Thus, Beatrice was enlightened with the veracity of the circumstance. More, the patroness herself was quite intelligent, calm and organized by her mind. Those made her acknowledge the profundity of such a circumstance. The earth was called upon and empowered with all powers and authorities for the upliftment of the planet, with it recognizing the strongest horses that were ever seen by the planetary beings. The stables are built of the strongest concrete and outside protection rendered with complete empowerment of the horses. The horses began to grow stronger and stronger from those earlier ones and took the present shape. The sheriff and other officials praised Beatrice a thousand times. Everyone whispered about the case of hemp leaves over their ears.

From then on, we see mighty and vigorous horses. Horses came to be known for their might, power and strength. They are recognized all over the world as the strongest creatures and held with respect for their worthy qualities. People owning horses are offered a special berth in the planet. These creatures are competent enough to now fight and struggle with any other damn creature of the Earth. They became the best creatures of the planet, Beatrice and the unseen director. The earth was crowned the ruler and the sovereign of the Ganges, as earlier it was Beatrice’s rule that prevailed over the planet, although the earth supervised. The earth now supervises only in a fortnight and remains Beatrice’s favorite.
