A S K M Y S E L F

As I glance thro' News Prints
Or sit before the 'Idiot Box
I stumble upon the same News
Be it Day,Eve or Dark.

I find every day without a fail
Murder at one or other place
Or a woman struggling to protect her chaste
Or ill health Infants resigned to fate.

If this were not enough to grieve
I find Man fighting with his Fellowman
To snatch the belongings of one by the other
Always in trance without a Stance.

I know Mother Nature provides to All
Enough to meet the genguine needs of man
Tis the Man who creates misery on his own
Trying to meet his unsatiable wants.

Nature shows her fury then
Thro'Rains,Floods and Fireballs thrown
With these wiping off the crops and grains
Man standing helpless gets torn and tossed around.

While in Richness man forgets the God
Thinking every success of his as his own
In grief he looks to God above
To protect him from sliding down the hill.

Is it to draw the man towards Him
That God creates such tantrum moves
So that "If Goodness leads him not
Yet Weariness may toss him to His breast".

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Futile it is for U to regret
In bitter thoughts or Tearful eyes
Futile it is for U to look back
Stirring the memories and Ur moist eyes.

What U have done cannot be undone
All Ur tears cannot wash it out
U cannot take even one step forward
If drowned by Fear or chained by doubt.

There is no courage in the Weak
And no strength in that Pensive mood
Wise move forward even as they stumble
Only the Meek will sit and brood.

What U have been,U already have been
Nothing on earth can turn it back
What U are U alone can tell
"Time and Tide Wait for No Man".

So Rise Up,My Friend and Resolve to Face
The Present in U and by U alone
"Act,Act In The Living Present
Heart Within and God overhead".
