COLORS OF LIFE

 

COLORS OF LIFE

Sprout life, a flower blooms,
An immanence, beauty loom,
Inches from the ground grow,
A tall tree flower fruits show (1)

Many spectral hues on leaves,
The character of humans believes,
Love, happiness, and kindness,
Sweet fruit fragrance impresses, (2)

A seed germinates, propagates,
A deed, noble, heal, captivate,
Sweet voice whispers laughter,
Attractive to humans after (3)

Rain-soaked winter frost bites
Pale and wet memory despite
Summer dries life thirsty well,
Mango bud or aromatic smell (4)

The playful girl smiles or dances,
Her picture, memory it enhances,
She is a young, discovers a future,
The wife, sister, lastly mother, (5)

A burden of life, forehead lines,
Silent, hidden tear home shines,
Her children, her replicas grow,
The cycle of life, colorful shows, (6)

Love and romance a past touch,
Auburn hair, satisfaction much,
An invaluable thrill, pain, and misery,
Life overcomes troubles, worry, (7)

The solitude, tranquility, heaven,
Colors of life continue unshaken,
Love life, the Lord, others, selfless,
A twin leaves for a tall tree witness. (viii)

GROWS AMBIVALENCE

 

GROWS AMBIVALENCE

Inexhaustible energy fountain,
Green forest rapids, mountain,
Treasure trove's hideous invite,
Tired bones fatigue mind excite,
Nature’s gift human greed class,
Ambivalence looks through glass,
Human recluse n sheds tension,
Resurrect from ruins if mentioned,
Fresh air, clean water, intimate,
Romantic mood dusks dictate,
Effusion of sensations counter,
Devastation project an answer,
Morning mist, lose myself, lame,
Sunshine in brilliance to tame,
Lovelorn walk abandon I move,
Charred trees, fire smoke wove,
Rain in forest rivulets enamor,
Waterfall river swell wind lure,
Tore wounds in my heart heal,
Barren field dirt, mud me kills,
Flees life to summer resort cool,
Cold wind, cool shade, wonderful,
Greenery fresh afternoon excites,
The lake vanishing, saddens light,
Boathouse hideout life unwinds,
Misery, sorrow, agony erase kind,
Pelican flamingos migrate in delight,
Seasons arrive late, I miss a sight,
Spring brings intense pleasure,
Pink, crimson, yellow, and blue colors,
Red, white flower fragrant steal,
Heart misses a late fall reveal kill
Ink canvas of my pattern of life,
Wish nature I recover face strife,
Spreads epidemic lessons worth
Vanishes verdure, barren earth,
Listen to the waves crash loudly,
Blue ocean watch a silent cloud,
Cloud mind bottom ambivalent,
Plastic poison lacks benevolence
Time disappoints me, find cocoon,
Sleep long, wait, Rarth heals soon,
Metamorphose my life, a butterfly,
The pain of caterpillar memory lies,
Moonlit might jasmine blossom,
Butterfly me amuses awesome,
My nature ephemeral pretense,
Nature best grows ambivalence,

LONG LIFE

 

LONG LIFE

A hundred years to live, eyesight,
Humans aspire to dream and delight,
The newborn is crying and inhaling first,
Air comes within cycles, the last (1)

Millions of cycles breathing tell,
The longest life lived mesmerizes well,
Still, a longer name exists, astonishing.
Physical remains, shorter, perish (2)

Child to youth, adult, old age line,
Long life, human wish fit and fine,
The shadow becomes longer and taller,
Mysterious human life yet smaller, (3)

Watching a river flowing, the path is long,
Rain in the mountain, listen to songs,
Finds the flowing water like seas,
Lose its identity merges destinies, (4)

Cycles of the river centuries flow,
Human breathing air merges slowly,
Lose its identity, long life path, well,
Long life of river or human prevail, (5)

Observes mountain peaks lasting,
A thousand years stood forecasting,
Long life has ended, fragmented,
Pours water and cracked, dented (6)

Standing on the beach, golden sand,
Who knows the rocky peaks seen land?
Long life of the mountain to human fit,
Game of the Almighty smile delete, (7)

Two leaves today, a hundred feet tall,
Raised from the ground with soil recall,
Live for a century and confide in humans,
Long life is a belief that vanishes one, (viii)

UNDER AEGIS OF NATURE

 

UNDER AEGIS OF NATURE

Human life amazes, deviates,
Concrete jungle complicated,
A stubborn mind seeks comfort,
The luxury cost of a nature escort,
Amazonia forest breathes life,
Human hunger, woods hike
Read books, newspapers mostly.
Furniture house if trees are lost,
Greenhouse covers the Earth, hot,
Forest fire feed inferno roast,
Wildlife suffers vanish often,
Mankind cries, sad lives moan,
Dry bed rivers, lakes shrink,
And females walk a mile, drink.
Rural areas lack clean water,
Deplete forest livelihood bid,
Soil vomit poison insect lot,
Entire harvest devastated,
Rest, human spoils careless,
The human lung pays the price,
Ever underestimates a mortal,
Cry, human race, to extinction,
Time recall-wise examination,
Need animal land, air, water,
Deprive resource crime mere,
Respect an intellect-wise thinker,
Ever caution rest yet discover,
Regeneration restoration soon,
Under the aegis of nature boon,
Serene verdure invites again,
Soul remorse revives, regains,
Fertile soil, pure water, air, nit,
Fascinated with daydreaming,
Fag of life, love my generation,
Witness a change estimation,
A century-long cycle manifests,
Under the Aegis of Nature resurrect,
Incredible human future bright,
Protecting nature for support.

DILEMMA

 

DILEMMA

The holiday travel experience is thrilling,
Green Hills Tea Garden, fresh feeling,
Gentle slopes narrow the path in the maze,
The silence, quietude, visibly amazes,
Far below a blue stream, a river flows,
Scenic place, Lord's paradise owes,
Proceed on narrow routes, enjoying,
Caught sight of a person yet moving,
Matted hair, auburn, torn clothes, tall,
Heavy baggage behind bearded all,
Refused to talk to us and looked away,
He was silent until evening came forward,
He was smoking at an old monastery,
We overtook him and reached a mystery,
Looked a million stars dark night wish,
Profound peace, silence, tea cup relish,
Nothing is visible far below darkness,
Perception of my existence impresses me,
No more the world exists, I survived,
The nomad I saw earlier, if perceived,
Mischievous thought looked at stars,
Thousands of missiles falling on cities,
Astonished to see a comet-lighted path,
Compared to missile devastate wrath,
In complete darkness, people are dying,
Dilemma, human mind unholy defying,
Death everywhere, why does it happen?
Hatred rules the human heart, tightens,
Felt perspiration, fear, thinking of war near,
Sad human life history fiery massacre,
Cried that night in the hotel room, sadly,
Opened the window, a cold breeze, chilly,
Dawn breaks, bright sunshine, glorious.
Packed my luggage mood, humorous,
The forgotten feeling of the past night looks,
Dilemma trapped not me more crop up,
Down below the airport landscape view,
Intact metropolis, busy life renews,
Dilemma captures at a lonely place probe,
May life solve war and resolve the time.

CURSE

 

CURSE

Suffering from diseases, life met a curse,
Human heart and mind tell worse,
Caste, creed, religion, or region hit,
Cursed a land, people, self-defeat, (1)

Democracy is the rule; the roads decide.
The court, the supreme conflict presides,
Where is the society deprived of its tell?
Cursing their fate, violence prevails, (2)

Unity in diversity is a bigger strength,
Different cultures and faiths exist at length,
Cursed the destiny of the nation to fall,
Crushed the wall of unity times call, (3)

Seven decades, no roof, no road, no food,
Why curse their fate, blinded mood,
Burn hunger in the belly if famished,
Cursed a country's imaginary vanished, (4)

The leader cursed animals, power sought,
Anarchy among the illiterate, evil brought,
Played havoc and venomous speech,
Dilemma, between two horns to reach, (5)

Uprooted coexistence, brotherhood,
A nation is not cursed, misunderstood,
The cursed mind waylaid blindly stays,
Trouble times united people dismay, (6)

Barren lands, dry rivers, parched fields,
Green forest flowing water, corn yield,
The ghost of the curse vanished, peaceful,
Prosper, the people's life is wonderful, (7)

Cursed sickness wounds lives, facing,
Healing is certain in time, well, smiling,
Lord in the heart, less discriminate all,
Cursed human forgets the God recall, (viii)

OUR HOME

 OUR HOME

Unique our blue planet with life,

Rarest of the rare terrain in strife,

Hot gas mass, molten lava, ice cover,

Less air, high gravity planets rover, (1)

Bright the sun at a center light visit,

Grows life happily, blue sky greets,

The breeze, a gentle cold wind, blows,

Come rain, thunder, lightning shows, (2)

Perennial rain, hailstorm, ice balls,

Relieving thirsty lips, showers call,

Drenched, soaked, full, playful time,

Evening dusk, cloud, cow bell chime, (3)

Temples' festivals, colorful dancing,

Sowing season harvesting is amazing.

Bullock cart mud walls are red in color.

Defeat time, beautiful life honored, (4)

The mountain peaks the forest valley,

Rivers, granaries, bewitchingly tally,

The nature, manifold of cultures lit,

Costume languages, eatery delight, (5)

Stupefied, speechless, Earth is home,

Nameless village to cities is awesome,

The flights, train journey, and highways,

Traveler today human well dismays, (6)

The Arctic Ocean poles mesmerize,

Human deeds pollute well-surprises,

Forest cover to desert rivers dried up,

No rainfall parched land weed fried, (7)

A divisive world vanishes brotherhood,

Life extinctions blue planet brood,

Aware and awake for our home,

Oblivion not distant, less welcome, (viii)

PERENNIAL RAIN

 

PERENNIAL RAIN

Gathering clouds cover the dark,
Horizon invisible fearfully mark,
Parched land parched lips thirst,
Eyes gaze, heart praise life, worst, (1)

Rain, drizzle, or heat diminishes light,
Heart puzzles mind muzzles quit,
Hailstorm, strong wind showers,
Pedestrian on pavement cowers, (2)

Drains are flooded roads because,
Water pools pitfalls, lives reclose,
Broken trees, shaken souls, sights,
Perennial rain in hot summer hits, (3)

Think village women walk a mile,
Keep their pots full to the brim, smile,
Children are busy collecting ice balls,
Forget a heat wave, the rain calls, (4)

Rain is months away, joyful farmer,
It's a busy time to plow the fields sheer,
The dream is only a dream, shows,
Perennial rain in winter is sorrow, (5)

Dashed the hope elopes no grains,
Looking at the fields flooded with rain,
Gone is the annual food hunger hell,
Ice ball hail storm occasion prevail, (6)

How similar to human life, blue sky,
Black clouds perennial, hunt to defy,
Solace to parched lips, thirsty heart,
Loot everything in a few days' impact (7)

Human life opportunity visit saves,
Bumper crops harvested, life waves,
Perennial rain, love, and sadness hit,
Mere human life waits eagerly to greet. (viii)

BEATITUDE

 

BEATITUDE

Rise of the reason
Past the tree of mind grow
Spreads branches of thoughts
Bearing actions share in draught
That fills life from birth to death
And bearing flowers and fruits
A blossom spreads a fragrance or foul smell
And generate further actions to infect
Osmosis rises to many more branches
A surge in leaves of memories
Fall in time deep into deep depth
Of the ocean of the subconscious mind
Reason with immense light dispels
All thoughts to see the dualities,
Illusions and pretensions of Maya
Focus reason on eternal truth,
Imperishable, deathless, and non-dual
Ever shining overhead
With the brilliance of thousands of suns
And all-pervading within the spirit
Nothing in the external world is permanent
As a reality, it dies with time,
The inner quest to a universe,
Traverse between the branches of thoughts
To a state where there is silence
Infinite thoughts subdued
Intellect and intuition surrendered,
The soul bathed in the rays of truth
Overhead and all its conceptions,
Faith, belief, and attachment melt
To the awakening in beatitude
Feels it's time to depart to that world,
His abode waits as always.
Mother with infinite love and compassion,
You have so much love and care...
The Lord is in me,
And the Lord is in your reflection,
Breaths are feeble
The frame is still like a rock
The silence is music in my heart,
Solitude serene in mind,
Thought clouds beyond the horizon,
Stars are shining dazzle
The turmoil of life falls silent,
All the pain and suffering erase
Listen to the unstuck bells
Love radiant plunge into the beatitude
Rains pour down without water
Rivers are streams of light
How could I ever express
How speechless I feel
To revel in such vast ecstasy
Of the land, of quietude
The landscape of peace and bliss
This is the music
Of soul and the Supreme meeting,
Of all grief fades dissolved
This is the music
That transcends all oscillations
The beatitude permeates the state of mind.

OMPASSIONED

 IMPASSIONED

 

Look at your demeanor, sparkles,

Know your eyes are friendly miracles,

Speak soothingly to pacify agitated,

Helping hand healing touch fated, (1)

 

Serves who need service selflessly,

Being a human dedicated impresses,

Building cities and communities.

Complex human relations, in fact, (2)

 

Family relations, friends, neighbors,

Society, region, and religion allure

The happiness, fun, festivals, links,

Bewitched, such a moment blinked, (3)

 

Written in memory, good times lit,

Entwines human bond in discreet,

Roamed Malls lighted fascination,

Countless goodies live in emotion, (4)

 

Everything wants the heart eagerly,

Status position money, favorably,

Look elsewhere, travelers roam,

A backpack search of places, a home (5)

 

Stay for a few days, move lives,

Watch the world enjoy yet believe,

Diametrically opposite human life,

Life in a gutter slum, children thrive, (6)

 

No one to look after, dirt-covered,

Got sick, no medicine, recovered,

Luck, death has not snatched life,

Daily laborers work hard to thrive (7)

 

Just a little money for food today,

Fallen sick or struck, treat Mayday,

The same human existence differs,

Impassioned, they live as a sufferer, (viii)

 

The divide is similar to a lamp,

A glowing oil lamp lit the map,

Just under the lamp, darkness stays,

Human life in slums differs, dismay, (9)

 

Why do we create classes, divisions,

Animals, plants, birds, creations,

Impassioned feelings God created,

Humans are born to be divided (10)

 

Few influencers impassioned teach,

Lives of humans from the gutters switch,

Human life, like fragrant wildflowers,

Impassioned notice thorn nullifier. (11)

BAIT

 

BAIT

Eon hunger of mind insatiable dwells,
Living beings fly, run, swim, and trail,
The pull of life instincts survives.
Food is not only hunger, desire, but truly,
Desire infinite in mind prowls to quench,
Prevention through bait entrapment to fetch,
Plants, animals, and creatures found in a trap,
Birds and aquatic life get caught, bait caps,
Carrion smells a mile away, bait tricks quick,
Mind is alert, rare is inquisitive,
Elephants fall into pits, the tigers in cages roar,
Bird for grain in a net, bait a hook, fish to shore,
Flower, leaf with a sweet smell, liquid bait,
Insects trapped by plants, deception trek,
Life baits and deceiving minds, captures, quick,
In cages or death, living beings end tragically,
Humans do face bait that entices, a trick.
A concession for good hides a risk,
Saving money assets are growing more.
People seek advice to invest bait to allure,
Promises and data are deceptions, bait to loot,
Broken home, life shattered, lust is the root,
Clarion on the job, overseas life, travel in Hoot,
Bait fails alert mind notice cheats lurk,
Overnight, young life loses all its future sunk,
Ruler lays bait, people elect in plain trust,
Commodities free gift bait future is lost,
Promotion in career bait, surrender reason,
Rejection of compromise is tagged as treason,
Spies hunt secrets, bait blackmail, cleavage,
Bait is a female lure that rules the mind,
Wine, riches, assets, bait, compromise,
A corrupt mind breeds bait to uncover ruin,
Anarchy spread the pretension and plenty,
Essence of humanity, the righteous path,
Gait is a quicksand in temptation,
Life is a test for a walk with thorns,
Corrupt escapes with booty taunt a lorn,
Bait is an evil act for the spirit with a goal.
Emancipation, a penance, guides a soul,
Society gets cleansed, progress manifests,
Character ensures peace awareness crest,
Where bait promotes violence and arson,
A corrupt mind willfully ignores reason,
Character-of-evil digs a grave, bait waits,
Credence to culture civilizes life in traits.
The human instrument is intelligent, wisest,
Modern times bait survives nicely infest,
War is neither with people nor with nations,
War is with a mind, clean life, and corruption

GOLDEN SKY AND GREEN EARTH

 

GOLDEN SKY AND GREEN EARTH

The night was in flames and lighted,
A few digging graves, kids expired,
Fright well imprinted on their faces,
Sunset wrote extinction it disgraces, (1)

Havoc ruled landscapes devastated,
Humans pray, and frights, instigated,
The loud cries, soulful sobbing beg,
A peaceful people love, stolen legs, (2)

Ruins and devastation covered life,
Crumbled houses, roads, and strife,
Hopeless, bitter Ramadan or Easter,
Bomb and missiles, lives lack shelter, (3)

Feel humans fight, forget harmony,
Sadly, humans lose life's symphony,
Animosity accrued, violent actions,
Humans tuned beast lose emotion, (4)

The darkness impermanent sunrise,
Sinners watch a burning hell realize,
Fear of death or beseech to forgive,
Cruel humans pretend well, survive, (5)

Shout for peace, the devil in guises,
Time cleanses timeless; it surprises,
Stolen the evil, mighty, ruthless life,
Earth turns glorious, removes strife, (6)

Peace, happiness, and love, a dream,
Tears of the past and scar, a stream,
Sunrise orange hues or green fields,
The peasant to cultivate, wants, yields, (7)

Endless sad stories, climax changes,
There is a bright future, it messages,
Golden sky and green Earth synergy,
Hope and strength, life toils, energy. (viii)

TEARS

 

TEARS

Lying the departed father in fear,
Missing a word, suffocate to tear,
Mother passed away, and brother,
lonely, silent, she had less to bother,
Her childhood fulfilled, parents' love,
Fun-filled playful with brother solve,
Death has taken away everything,
Past her eyes, a tearful memory recalls,
Added salt to the injury and lost the house,
Left her children distant from her spouse,
Roofless, helpless female, she is crying,
Dried her tears, drank all time-defying,
Consoled, accepted her fate, hot tears,
Incidents shatter lives counter sheer,
Surprised life withstands the calamity,
Tears rolled down, but she smiled, alacrity,
Time is the healer of the heart and mind,
Forgotten the past, look tomorrow tall,
She did exactly change herself stable,
Failed to recount children hubby, able,
Earned her livelihood, passes a modest life,
She talks, her friends cry for strife,
Got strength from a heart yet stubborn,
The Lord her companion is now a solution,
Her prayers, hot tears, emotions healing,
Life is precious, boundless, soul-willing,
Bristling crowd, she is lonely, an attitude,
Pristine nature, melancholy to solitude,
Primal the sight mountain river greens,
Eternal deathless enchanting between,
Merged her soul with the blue sky bird flies,
Pleasure with happy tears, she was wise!

Tidal waves of dreams, the best,

Apparently, the wait for decades,
Failure, troubles, masquerades,

Merciless the Earth, water boils, (2)

Her hand on her chick, it wears, (3)

Hide her restlessness belief balm,
The pitcher of cold water to quench,
Ajar the door, to rest, the change, (4)

Hope her man gets relaxed, tears,
An ocean of marital compulsions,
Sweet words, a river of emotions, (5)

The confluence of happiness, joy,
A confluence of peace and love,
They shall exchange worry, enjoy,
Union after the hard work, solve (6)

They are not kind and queen, seen,
Knew how to live in trouble between,
Like dark clouds passed filter rays,
Their life, not a fiction, yet displays (7)

Privileged, desires fulfilled, kids,
Life of a village woman, her deeds. (viii)

BRIKEN GLASS

 

BROKEN GLASS

The child had mild unruly hair,
Black face diamond she shares,
Ruffle her frock, eyes attractive,
Sharp nose, white teeth, achieve,
Looked once at her, a village girl,
Her childish smile, innocent world,
Etched in my memory long ago,
Felt pity uneducated lacked ego,
Grew up, beautiful, unmatched,
Migrated to urban life attached,
Melodious her song, dance, a tribal
Caught public attention electrically,
Market icon for cosmetics, dress,
Gold ornament bangles impress.
Her property assets, apartment, car,
Tribal, a village girl to a female at par,
Saw her picture, life story disbelief,
The girl I saw once, happy in relief,
She had the mirror in her possession,
Manicured attire adds emotion,
This was her only asset to mint gold,
Mirror oval her face, hooked life bold,
She heard her parents had passed away,
Looked like a ghost longed for a boon,
All her assets, gold money, failed a fact,
Parents departed, with less return in fact,
Shattered her life, she lost her brother,
No more looked a carrier, less bother,
Decided, returned, village firm house,
The broken mirror lacked a spouse,
Cousin sister, a creeper swinging rope,
Her life-broken mirror song is her hope.

Afloat in the womb a spirit,
Watch faces smile, greet
Solves query meets now,
The realm manifest vow,
Soul exists in a void quest,
Sojourn to know how to invest,

Deep green flowers’ color,
River, lake, and Purple Dawn,
Fountain of solace and earn,
Never guess duality a real,
Pain, misery, tears, surreal,
Doubt clouds the mind, blind,
Truth or false, rights ever to find,
Illusions a mirage, curious,
Insatiate senses if delirious,
Darkens life, toes horror test,
Pure soul tense, worry rest,
Sojourn now faces a morass,
Dries up a fountain of solace,
Write my agony, dreamless,
Sick limbs, mind in distress,
River of life floods pain, sadness,
Tearful, don’t realize, get mad,
Rivers that meet the sea exist,
My soul in freedom, Godsend,
Regain eternity, death perish,
Pleasures, pain, and sadness miss,
Illusions fade into a void to float,
Fountain of solace, only boat,
The boat, I hope, will reach shore,
Lord waits for me and enamor,
Ripe age saw a world mystic,
Contemplate time al’ ecstatic,
Time is near, who if whisper,
Birth and demise rotate securely,
Never O’ soul free of bondage,
Realization of a creator craze,
Living here on the planet, moon,
Sun, star, cosmos eager croon,
Seek O spirit His due presence,
Feel in the core of the heart,
Dawn breaks, I pray, and sunrise,
Brilliance, His aura me surmise,
Hope to meet Lord never crash,
Hug him to get a fountain of solace,

PESSIMIST

 

PESSIMIST

Tagged with bleak vision found,
Failures hurt his heart surround,
No Successful efforts, fruitless pain,
He turned pessimistic, life insane,
Far from crowds humiliated, stung,
His words are taken as wrong,
Chosen solitary life, happy single,
Desists from people never mingling,
Believed the Godless world to be cruel,
Seen hunger, poverty, and death dwell,
Heard bitter cries, no one listening,
Poor children, and eyes glistening,
He stood, observed the trees leafless,
No flowers or fruits live ruthlessly,
Parched land grassless frustrate,
The lifeless vision in front demonstrates
He saw a dark cloud hovering over the rain,
Drained, drenched, and fully joyous again,
What has been seen today spouts grass,
See comes with a lot of budding enemas
Thought fruits will follow in season,
Dark mind played havoc on the reason,
The attitude of human life brings change,
Defeats pessimism, his heart avenges,
No more did he think his life fruitless,
Short yet priceless devastated strife,
The night will pass the sun will rise again.
Realizing, he smiled at himself, as a fool,
Wise enough to devote a transform,
Perform or perish, buy or die, decided
Almighty at his side presiding,

TRANSPARENT

 TRANSPARENT

Amazed, life so intriguing stays,
Entwine threads, thought ways,
Bubbles of hope desire profuse,
Look at the heart search refuse,
Hidden in the closest chamber,
Wish lists human spires longer,
Ever wishes fulfilled? life happy,
An amusing human face felt creepy,
Wanton desires genuine, silent,
Love life flows not transparently,
Life is colorful, fragrant, ecstatic,
River water transparent mystic,
Visible are the gravel rocks below,
Deceives the depth facts show,
Everything underneath is visible,
Lessons for humans are incredible,
Transparency resemblance says,
The truth of human deeds tells the way,
Life flows like clean water hail,
Purity, love, and sympathy sail,
Whirlpool, the river gets muddy, sad,
The human mind is motivated to bad,
Clean water in rivers is lost soon.
Transparent once muddy loom,
Polluted harmful equivalent fit,
The human mind is polluted, lo unfit,
Sinful deeds, fertile mind breeds,
Flooded river, sand, threat field,
Visible love, affection, in the heart,
Transparent life praised impact,
Flows like a pristine river service,
Such a human match acts justice,
For example, for others, serenity lit,
Life flows for them in an ordinary fit,
Live for others, detached, clean,
Life stays in memory lanes, win
The river flows forever transparent,
People remember long, apparent,
Such people, one in thousands,
Leading a transparent life stands

BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE WATER

 

BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE WATER

Life is troublesome and difficult,
Uninvited obstacle poses a wall,
Fueled frustration points the fault,

Harassed, brokenhearted survive,
Hope is a driving force, encourages,
Pitfalls are natural dreams revive,

The morass, dark water lake exists,
Bottomless life drowns indecisive,
Scope to escape, the path persists,

Love precious life happiness well,
Pleasure, comfort, and fame wait,
Decide the fate, destiny, it prevails,

Sunrise, the peak of effort is fruitful,
Inspire, inflame, strengthen, and delight,
Changes the dark water, colorful,

Think O, human, halt and ponder,
Grab the opportunity, transform,
Fame and fortune, lovely plunder,
Glorious deeds, memories forever.
