To Be In One's Own Self! Poem by Ramesh T A

Facing twists and turns in artificial life, men miss peace of mind!
To forget all despairs, one seeks the abode of beauty in Nature,
Literature, religion, art, dance, song and music, if one escapes
The pitfall of drug addiction to overcome misfortune in world life!

Art, Nature and culture past, present and forever play a vital role
To bring man to one's senses whenever pushed down by the
Mechanical life being perpetrated by modern civilization to be a
Human rather than a machine-beast-man in race with Time ever!

Man's confinement in the circle, one belongs, never allows one to
See light of the day and reality making one to come out and look
From above to see realities as they really are to overcome the
State of helplessness to escape from falling into pitfalls of drug!

Living human life rather than mechanical or animal or divine one
is the first imperative now before one attains any state of mind to
Achieve the status one dreams about or the vision one has long
To be so one day or rather in the journey of life in this world sure!
