BESTIAL

 

BESTIAL

 

Mind human allows freedom, free,

Friendly influencer branches tree,

A thousand channels thought flow,

Steal lifetime human loses a glow, (1)

 

Tell soul when hunger pacified,

Desires mind procreate classified,

The human life short thirsts stay,

Impossible to satisfy growing dismay, (2)

 

He was a suffered soul lust ruled,

Lost hopes for a future, cheated, fooled,

The day came in his life discovered the fact,

Bestial was mind destroyed in fact, (3)

 

Distanced family, friends, society,

Roamed like a beggar in the city,

Realized his own deeds, results exist,

Far from fragrant garden life resists, (4)

 

Fear the angle look down upon him,

Sorrows, repentance, anger, swims,

Cursed his mind, now silent know,

Moneyless unable to amuse show, (5)

 

Saw the poor youth on the footpath,

Unshaven torn clothes, fate's wrath,

He was educated as a graduate addict,

Lost girlfriends, disaster depicts, (6)

 

Seen infected with incurable disease,

Hated turned untouchable ease,

Sad, someday he was at hermitage.

Abode of Himalayas, the dues paid, ( 7)

 

Fit for rehabilitation healing mind,

His brutal denial to thirsty mind,

Celibacy detachment meditation,

Preferred silence concentration, (viii)

 

Still, he was unhappy, clueless life,

Brought to a shelter home thrive,

Started serving elderly ladies begin,

His kind-hearted effort, love, care, win, (9)

 

On death lit the pyres, shaven head,

Rituals for the departed living thread,

Sober, silent, stood at a crematorium,

Bestial mind honored moratorium, (10)

 

Human life the youth understood,

He realized singing hymns in mood,

Serving ladies feeding crippled ones,

Life found to be bestial helps a man. (11)
