LIFE

LIFE

Life is a  ceaseless sacred Ganga,
Don’t make it a muddy, mucky and dirty drain.
Life is a beautiful, God-bestowed boon,
Don’t make it a depraved and despicable bane.

Life is a wonderful, wish-granting Kalpavriksha
Don’t make it a piercing and perforating bramble.
Life is a gleaming, glistening and golden chance
Don’t misuse it to mockingly fall off and stumble.

Life is a priceless, peerless God-devised gift
Don’t make it a useless, dingy and detestable refuse.
Life is an automatic, charismatic and infinite recorder
Don’t belittle to listen to, save and use relevant views.

Life is a bounteous and magnanimous Kamadhenu
Don’t take it, unduly and remorsefully, for granted.
Life is a self-charged, vigilant and accurate watch
Don’t tamper it and tinker it to stop stagnated.

Life is an auto creditabe-debitable passbook
Don’t exhaust it insensibly, depositing at random.
Life is an ever enhancing and enlightening treatise
Do use it to free yourself from gloom and serfdom.

Life is an ever daunting, taunting and formidable uphill
Don’t lose fortitude; do resolve to successfully scale it.
Life is an intimidating, uneasy and inescapable challenge
Don’t rashly, in the uncertain hands of chance, throw it.

Life is an imperative and unavoidable assignment
Don’t keep it pending for the never coming morrow.
Life is an endless and ever widening journey
Don’t discontinue to hug penury, misery and sorrow.

Life, what Longfellow has said, is a bivouac
Never flee disgracefully before the fight is over.
Life is a collection and confluence of water drops
March on until you are an ocean, a sea and a river.
Life is a long, upward ladder with uncountable steps
Keep climbing until your ultimate goal is plucked.
Life is an inscrutable, enigmatic and teasing riddle.
Keep solving, or your Podium’s path will be blocked.

Life is a soft, budding, potential and aromatic bud
Deter it not from growing, blooming and captivating.
Life is a gloriously euphoric and ecstatic victory song
Brace yourself up to be a proud triumphant to sing.

Life is a sallying, jumping and leaping brook
Force it not to sleep before reaching its destination.
Life is a noble, gracious and sublime Virtue
Spoil it not to divest you of sweet, blissful salvation.
