HUMANS NEED

 

HUMANS NEED

A morsel of food and water matters,
A roof over the head, allures shelter,
A deviate thirsty mind, ditch is sadly,
Life runs for lifetime dreams madly, (1)

A Pandora's box, treasure inviting,
A selfish life plunder feels exciting,
Endless ambition, fame, and fortune,
To grab mercilessly find opportune, (2)

Walk over gold, silver, and diamond,
Peace, happiness, pleasure, abscond,
Sand castles, dream desires, passion,
Lust looted conscience or emotions, (3)

The seeds implanted by the human,
Sprouted, grows quickly, time-worn,
Source of misery, agonies, and pain,
Life, a flower fallen, because of rain, (4)

Immersed in the aspect, fail to find,
Temptation sensation and trill wind,
The mirage ropes the mind to heaven,
Whisper paradise nearer life smitten, (5)

No sight of an oasis paradise vanishes,
Short, the human life dawns cherish,
Cinematic motion, time flows soon,
Halts the human, realizes the boon, (6)

Realize the impermanence, illusions,
The mind traps very well, confusion,
Sunset, the darkness pervades sleep,
Uprooted the old tree, viewer weeps, (7)

Feel the slow breath sign of life flows,
Humans need water, food, all know,
Love, compassion, sympathy, security,
Contribute to growth assets, a variety (viii)
