Life Tadka !

Dal Life tadka !

Life; for all its complications,
Wretchedness; distress,
A mutiny In progress
Shall be rejoiced,
Joked; laughed upon.

God created man,
Man fabricated many gods…
Vishnu Venus Zeus Osiris
God smiled,
But always found his creation;
Clamoring at his feet…

Good fences make great neighbours…

God, with a sense of humour;
Created neighbours; the slayers
Of your peace and serenity.
Armed with tongues, sharp tongues;
Sharp enough to slice watermelons.

God gifted windows of opportunity,
Had he ever expected…
His creation would not appreciate;
As we always expected;
A safety net, beneath.

He made a comical;
We transformed it into a horror.

So laugh along!
As life, for all its complications,
Happiness, Success,
A destiny to caress

Shall gradually, eventually,
Fade away…
leaving behind a present;
A gift-
A coffin.

Fully agree with Vijesh.
Beautiful poem indeed.
Comment about neighbour however very disturbing.
Better move to a new location.
Don’t forget The famous Commandment..” Love thy neighbour’s wife”
