THE ULTIMATE TRUTH Poem, by Dr.Sandhya Tiwari, at My poetic side

Who will cry when we die?

As we all human beings on the earth try

Lead a life awry

Devoid of noble human principles

Truthfulness, humility, compassion and the like

How many really attempt

To help others

If not everyone

Least that is our near and dear ones

To keep the things moving

Quick is mind in thinking

Excuses reasons and all such lie

Considering them to be treasure we are on high

As said by Nehru “Mind is a wayward creature”

Unless we have had a great teacher

The parents, society or the situation

Mould us for the better to attain emancipation

Knowing well the truth

As humans and mortal we all are destined to die

Forget the fact

We are guests in the world for awhile

Some less, some more

Years meted by God

We complain and guile

Rather than making the most of our stay on the soil

Who is to be blamed?

The creator or the created

The ignorance bestowed upon humans

Is a challenge

Into opportunity it opens

Truth upon dwelling unravels

Glory which is full of sheen

Knowledge is converted into wisdom

HE, the creator

Has predestined our fate

Before the birth

Aware of it, lets make the most of life

Filling it with happiness and mirth

Comment from author about the poem: In this poem I attempted to depict the hollowness of leading materialistic life, which has become the way of life for many in the modern age. Everything comes as a package, in the same way modernity has its flaws. Being too ambitious many are leading life which will not befit them to be called as higher order animals, this is my perception. I strongly believe this has to be checked, as our stay in this beautiful inn is short. We have to make the most of our life, helping and spreading the noble values among the human fraternity. Honored readers please give your valuable feedback on my understanding. Dr.Sandhya Tiwari
