From the time at the dawn of life
when as children we cry,
through adolescence to the dusk
sufferings and the tears run dry.
With some temporal joys
there runs a short rope of time,
and this rope is burning
every second making a chime.
One end is placed at our birth time,
and the other end is held by death.
to make the most of this life,
we have limited numbers of breath.
We all have been running
galloping thru this race,
many times in a Kalpa
afraid of Yama's mace.
All that needs to be done
is to slow down this burning rope,
peace, love and fearlessness
are key to a magic called hope.
Truth, mercy and diligence
fortitude, patience and purity,
to cut the karmic bondage
nothing works like charity.
From control of senses & mind,
comes the control of our body.
It slows down the breath,
and leads us to samadhi.
Samadhi is the college
where Guru is the teacher,
he will then take us up
and upgrade for the future.
All this exercise in life
of solving puzzles thru meditation,
leads us to a bountiful life
full of peace, love and elation.
As we feel unbound love
and the fears go away,
we become full of light
and out of death's sway.
A tunnel of brightness
that passes thru the Sun,
We tread this path smiling
and still having all the fun.
It passes thru the seat of Brahma
A star called Sagittarius A,
We get blessed by the father
then again it leads us away.
The other end of this wormhole
leads to Vishnu and Shiva,
the caretaker of the universe
and to the Supreme Diva.
Shiva is all father of this universe
Brahma is the father is all souls,
Bhagwan Vishnu is the caretaker
where we all play our roles.

- Comment from author about the poem: We don't realise that instead of living as individuals, we become part of a system and what we live is canned life. Canned life is like canned food, standard product, meets the society's expectations. Does it matter your expectations as individual? We all must think.

Amen!
The one word that describes our agreement ! Thanks.
Yes, so so true. This reminds me of the Katy Perry song “Chained to the Rhythm.” We’re all just chained to the same set of rules and the same way of life. A message for the people indeed!
Even if we can afford to think differently, we think we are different, but we must act on what we think is right. Thank you.
