Two cents worth!

 

Don’t judge him, my folk,

And don’t judge her either,

For you, yourself, don’t know…

Who actually you are!

 

You are not that name, that holds this worth,

And not your fame, so prized,

For what you own today, won’t define you,

But they shall part you far!

 

You are not that skin, which shines so bright

And not your talk, so divine,

For your words, may linger in every tongue

May not remain the same, ever!

 

You are not that possession, which dazzles you

And you dazzle this world in return,

For you must understand now,

Under this sun, every thought is clever!

 

You are not that pride, which boasts of your intellect,

And still this world shall praise thee,

For what you know today,

Shall be the layman’s tomorrow!

 

Beware my folk!

This unvarnished truth shall delude you

And what you have, won’t stay with you

For nothing is imperishable here,

Illusion so fathomless, Life’s hollow!

 

Open that cage and set your arrogance free,

And wash off your futile vanity

For you, yourself, shall decay someday,

And your name shall die!

 

Let your deeds define you,

And your magnanimity,

For you shall one day…

Be that cloud of this sky!

 

Your deeds should blossom,

And to the purest form of all,

For they shall radiate the redolence,

After you vanish, the world shall cry!

 

Let your wings feel this virtue,

And your soul shall feel this light

For now, you will break that chain

And shall aspire high…

To my soul, that boast of unworthiness!

"Let your deeds define you,
And your magnanimity,
For you shall one day…
Be that cloud of this sky!"
No weakness in the positive poetry. Just a journey into good thoughts and wisdom. We need to look at our world with a positive view. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

You have always inspired me. I thank you for this one too.

a poet I like, here a very spiritual poem, with a message of selflessness, perhaps inspired by personal faith..good poem.

Thank you Leslie :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

let your actions speak for themselves...don''t think so highly of yourself...because usually if you do, you aren't all that....and don't judge others harshly as you may be judged that way yourself.


really strong philosophy in this write.

You're welcome :)

[Dayran]

In many the experience of creation brings itself to praise us as its object of achievement. We may need to acknowledge that first, then without resting on the laurels, move to advance the cause of creation itself and bring the joy of its achievement to all. Good effort.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Very true. Thank you Dayran :)

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]
