THEY kept speeding and listening to the din outside
Never stayed still to listen to what comes from inside
Became restless and stressed during the ride
But
THOSE who were awakened by their inner voice
Enjoyed the silence and peace away from the noise
THEY kept dreaming of possessing all they saw
Couldn't resist sense desires drooling with awe
Their needs multiplied they were never satisfied
But
THOSE who remained content with what they had
Never felt unfortunate jealous unhappy or sad
THEY kept hoarding selfishly all they possessed
Even connived to grab others shares instead
No amount of what they had was ever enough
But
THOSE who generously gave away all they could
Spread happiness and joy and felt so good .
THEY lived their life imprisoned in ego and greed
Went to any extent to make others hearts bleed
Ultimately it was they who fell face down indeed
But
THOSE who honored integrity humility and honesty
Lived a life without fear preserving their dignity
THEY loved with expectations to be fulfilled
When not as expected their joy was killed
Love lost its charm giving way to conflicts
But
THOSE who loved unconditionally without expectations
Understood and accepted happily without frustration
THEY could never reach the shore despite all they had
Possessions made them heavy that they drowned instead
They never let go ego ,attachment ,lust greed and rage
But
THOSE who lived a life of love content and sacrifice
Flowed effortlessly and reached the shore of paradise
OH GOD !!! bless me to be THOSE and not THEY
Give me the wisdom to follow your voice and pray
Catch my hand tight don't let me go astray
For
Then only can I become love bliss and peace
Become one with you so that my shadows cease
