PULLEYS
Oh! Pulleys make heaviness effortlessly
light
Pulleys pull the bottom with ease to
height
Pulleys ensure much easier a stiff,
hard fight
Pulleys fetch our goals with
endeavour slight!
Oh! The pulleys of disease make us
hale and hearty
The pulleys of defeat teach us
sublimity and humility
The pulleys of remorse infuse in
us piety and propriety
Yes, we learn a lot by the pulleys
of sweet adversity!
Oh! The pulleys of Divinity lift us from the base up
all
The pulleys of honesty save us
from an imminent fall
The pulleys of toil surely help to
dangle the fruit of pearl
The pulleys of duty-Deity enlist
us in the Fame of Hall!
Let’s all thus praise the multiple
pulleys’ miracles
To liberate us from the unbudging
miseries’s tentacles
To elevate us to the acme of
supra-mundane pinnacle
To ascertain, at last, this
brittle-battle of life unbreakable!
* The pulleys of disease make us
hale and hearty – this paradoxical line is based on the philosophy of J.B.S
Haldane expressed in his essay “ILLNESSES THAT MAKE US HEALTHIER.”
* Yes, we learn a lot by the
pulleys of sweet adversity – this paradoxical line is based on William
Shakespeare’s philosophy explained in his play “AS YOU LIKE IT.”
N.B: The above poem is inspired by
George Herbert’s poem “THE PULLEY.”
