Always a beggar
I've been on my knees
To keep you divine
I've been at your mercy
To make you a master
I've been staying alive
To protect you from death
I've been dying starving
To keep you "full-belly"
But I remain a beggar
With you as my greatest wealth
I still remain a beggar!
With you always in my side
[We live for money. With money we can do anything. We can love money. But always it will be the master. We will do anything to preserve the money in our hand, because without it you will be a beggar. But with it you are a beggar if you do not part with it.]
Colours of Autumn
In the midst of a big forest
In the midst of autumn
Where the leaves wither
And fall in the weather
I sat on the nearby stone
Of a brook on its last legs
It was flowing east
And I listened to the musical journey
That was awesome
It was a nice afternoon
The silvery water soothes the stones
It continues the journey
Boulders and whirl-pools in its path
The brook has covered all of those
The ups and downs, twists and turns
It continues the journey
The trees which once nested
All beautiful birds in world
Seems it is now rested
In its solitary world
I asked the nearby tree
Why is it standing silently?
Nothing said by the tree
But the brook answered
In its soft voice
Which sooth the stones
The brook continues its journey
To the heart of autumn forest
[The life is like a stream. We must keep going without stumbling upon rocks like problems or ups and downs in our life. We must consider the problems to be our pointers in life. We must add dance to our life as the stream dances touching upon the rocks. It should keep going so unlike the tree even when the end is near]
