METAPHOR

 

Witness simile in life mind is the ocean,

The thought is a forest, console as lotion,

Smiles impress as love, tear to hurt,

Whispers like the idea, an oasis in comfort,

Metaphor projects pictures matching,

Effects of magical impression expressing,

 

National culture includes a metaphor,

The message of the father of the nation, in life, adore,

Three monkeys mute, blind, deaf décor,

Intimated as gurus, principle enamor,

A most difficult task, human life practice,

Eyes, ears, mouth close for evil notice,

Leaders of nation, press, eminent fail,

Generations awe to notion, mean detail,

Few understand metaphor, Bapu’s gift,

His aim for rulers, motive social uplift,

Rejection of evil as input to mind firm,

Expressing evil out of the mental block as an arm,

Ruler, citizen yet to decipher a metaphor,

In the practice of massage, life rare ardor,

 

Three monkeys, not humans as an idol,

One deaf, other mute, rest blind all,

Monkey is a symbol of a restless mind,

Jumps ceaseless among trees find,

The tree is a metaphor of thought often,

The branch is a feeling, triggers motion,

Human behaves as monkey restless,

Mind in agitation rare as thoughtless,

Eyes, ears feed to mind, view, hear,

Self restrain, discipline never near,

Sight for lust, greed, hatred or envy,

Hundreds of attitude trap mind savvy,

Love for hearing self-flattery, insult,

Condemning other, rebuttal, assault,

Lies rumors fabrications, mind spoilt,

Input through the eye, ear, conscience melt,

Indiscriminate use of sight voice ruins,

Deaf and blind metaphor ignore wins,

The mouth is twin gate, close, well it means,

Word is deadlier than a weapon, the soul feels,

A hurt, wound by sword heals well fine,

Meer word affects deeper bleeds lifetime,

Evil word is a curse, insult, scold or lies,

Tongue to be blocked, teeth lips defies,

Never nation saw Bapu, words caustic,

Ever slashing tongue, silence realistic,

Wisest to be mute than evil retaliation,

Conscience rules mind purity reflection,

 

The metaphor of three monkey wisest move,

Stable mind discriminates purity wove,

Metaphor detached life path to realizing,

Mahatma showed a path of life precise.
