AMELIORATE

 

AMELIORATE

 

 

Exasperated crippled human life,

Soaked with desire burning strife,

Where to go? whom to beg dictate,

Erratic erroneous wild confiscate, (1)

 

Capture happiness, peace, gloom,

Demand ransom life sinks soon,

A story that initiated a youth mad,

Physical pleasure allured forward, (2)

 

Failed to think consequence drunk,

Fortunate elixir of thrill limb sunk,

Like a bee seeking honey trail lost,

Attract flower fragrant honey most, (3)

 

Swim in the river water refreshing,

Like a fish cherishes time tracing,

The tingling touch of cold spring sways,

Feasts in orchards tastier dish lay, (4)

 

Friends may share bond in series,

Travel to scenic places in memories,

It happened after we all disbelieved,

Time separates us distance deprived, (5)

 

The river stream fountain gardens,

Not a visitor responsible hardens,

Then I feel happiness and truly enjoy,

The youth was with strength but joy, (6)

 

Mistook physical pleasure entity,

Lost friends, parents, times, a pity,

Had tears remembered past lives,

Years took to realize, life believes, (7)

 

A mere creation in the nature live,

Like a wildflower for a day thrive,

Let tomorrow another story stay,

Ameliorate these thoughts ways, (viii)

 

Lost all desires, false hopes, wiser,

Sadness, pain, misery, preacher,

The next phase of life, simplicity leads,

Ordinary life exotic, sight indeed, (9)

 

No more to beg mercy, happy life,

That captured me perish I thrive,

No more crippled life capable, stay,

Learned heard work duty dismay, (10)

 

Fruit of my deed ameliorate others,

Memory reminds generations after,

Self joy, physical pleasure, elixir,

Dedicated my life to escape the nadir, (11)

 

The smile of children sick solace,

Ameliorate life in trouble morass,

The mission of human lives activates,

Help others save lives to ameliorate. (12)
