Even the ferocious perish one day
leaving behind bones and clay
Ensconced within a tough exterior
we are, but, fragile lives
eager to bequeath a lasting memoir
eager to bequeath a lasting memoir
Why, then, do we overlook the right,
lusting after power, position, might?
Let’s practice a life of grace,
despite experiencing
undesirable snags we must brace
Rather than surrendering without a choice,
Let’s exit quietly with poise

DeleteWe all have so much ego - if only we realized that the poorest man and the richest person both have to exit the world and be reduced to ashes and dust, we'd live our lives more humbly! Lovely words!
ReplyDeleteYes, need to tame that ego. Thanks, Divya!
