LIFE IS WHAT ONE’S CHOICE IS!
How meticulously and carefully, from water, does pick,
The ever alert, sensible and sane, Swan only the useful milk,
Leaving, at the bottom, untouched, the redundant former,
Relishing, to the hilt, to be hale and hearty, and prosper!
How unbelievably and rationally, only the iron particles, chooses,
From among the varied matters, mixed, adulterated and trifling,
The most infallible Magnet with its wit serves, teaches and amuses,
And does arrest all hearts, and rule unrivalled as the Metal King!
Let me thus be a learned Swan to see through the Right and the Wrong,
Let me, like a sweet Swan croon life’s glittering and glorifying song!
Let me, like a meaningful Magnet, cling to the vital Virtue Metal,
Let me leave the worthless and trivial clinkers to make life Celestial!
Let me, thus, realize and remember that “Lo! Life is what one’s Choice is!”
“A pertinent Choice enriches life; an impertinent one does ruin and pulverize!”
Glossary:
Meticulously – carefully
Sensible and sane - reasonable and wise
Redundant - unnecessary
Former – earlier (here, water)
Relishing - taking pleasure in
To the hilt - fully
Hale and hearty - healthy
Rationally - logically
Adulterated – mixed/ impure
Trifling – insignificant
Infallible – perfect
Unrivalled - unchallenged
Croon - sing
Glittering – sparkling
Trivial - unimportant
Clinkers – waste materials or refuses from mines
Celestial – heavenly
Pertinent - significant
Impertinent – insignificant
Pulverize – grind/ crush
