Classicism is nobility;
Classics live unto eternity!
Gift away what you like to possess
And gifted finds it's useful uses.
Sages say, life is a myth;*
Still, they live in search of truth!
(* Hindu philosophy)
You win, you will be society's pride;
You lose, all society will deride!
My own mind is my enemy;
It plays all the havoc in me.
All your kith are kin,
Till you're wealthy man!
My failure is my virtuousness
In this world full of viciousness!
All of you work for me
And make my life creamy!
Within temple, granite idol is worshipped;
Without, it is mere commodity far shipped!
Nature dame had borne millions of life thro' eons;
Still, she looks Miss universe as every day dawns!
"In the beginning was the word........ word was truth"
Now the word of truth has become old-fashioned myth!
Judas, not Jesus, was the cause of Christianity,
For, his betrayal led Jesus to eternity
"Searching the Lord is beginning of knowledge"
And does not end until you break sensual bondage.
Light cannot comprehend darkness ever;
If put out, darkness again takes over!
Money is most powerful in this world;
Did it not kill even the Son of God?
Tinkling talk of money
Drips in ears as honey!
If the dead suddenly returns,
Many living will kill themselves!
Sky is a myth and earth is truth,
Yet they seem, meet at crust of earth!
This body is not for sensual titillation;
It is to fulfil duties assigned by the Great One!
People with money and muscle power,
For their selfish ends, tramp the frail and poor!
Evil souls reign this earth, for generations,
Despite our Lord's repeated incarnations!
(* Hindu God Lord Vishnu incarnated on earth ten times)
"He saved others, let him save himself",
Jesus could, had he not selfless self.
Horrid grief is hunger;
The blessed is the feeder.
Haughty fire scales up, burning all that's on its way,
Humble water steps down, to wash earth's sins away!
"Food is medicine and medicine is food",
Gentle food, little medicine, keeps health good!
"Knock! It shall be opened unto you" preaching:
We are searching for doors that open sans knocking!
Our lives are directed or deviated
By certain other, concerned or unconcerned.
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord";
But don't overburden His head!
An important person is respected;
Importance ceased, he will be neglected!
Pest cricket is grasshopper's name;
Test cricket is cash hoper's game
If you are enthralled by somebody's feat,
Know, strong-willed, you also can do it.
If you say, nothing in this world is impossible,
Know, not one, many hands need to make it possible.
Granite decked daily with bed of rose
Shall gain and own fragrance in due course!
Cycling rhythm is pace of life
Beats in peace, offbeats facing strife.
Strand that developed in New York and London is 'Nylon'
Strife developed between Pakistan and India is 'Pain'.
You are warned, "look before you leap",
'Cause this leap should not be last lap.
